Over the past years the of migrant and raptor birds has decreased in Mongolia. The reason behind falling numbers of migrant birds is due to birds being at high risk of death from electric shock and flying into electric pylons. The 15 KW transmission lines cause electrocution when birds collide with wires and pylons.

In order to find a way to work around problem Ministry of Environment, Green Development, Ministry of Energy, National University of Mongolia jointly held a consultative meeting called the “Possibility of environmentally friendly transmission lines” on  Wednesday February 27th.

During the consultative meeting the risks to birds from electricity transmission facilities was discussed. Ways to minimize any adverse effects, risks to birds from electrocution, collisions with above-ground power lines was raised and how to prevents any negative impacts and find possible ways to protect birds from dangerous pylons by building environmentally friendly transmission lines according to international standards.
 
According to a study in 2012, a total of 41 species and 954 birds fell due to electrical transmission lines.

It is estimated that these badly engineered transmission facilities have caused 3.6 million MNT damages to animal ecology and economic assessment between 2007, 2009 and 2012.

Mongolia joined the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals in 1999.

The Convention aims to take action to aid in the protection of migratory species from extinction and to reduce adverse effects and loss occurring during migration.
