Day 4 of our 12 Days of BirdLife celebrates the launch of AVISTEP in four new countries, helping the planet's migratory birds. ๐
Together with DEG Impulse, we rolled out AVISTEP, an open-access tool that allows anyone interested in planning on and offshore wind energy, solar energy, or powerlines, to see the exact impact upon birds across the entirety of each country. โก๏ธ๐ง
This information ensures developers and regulators develop facilities in the most appropriate locations. ๐
