Protecting wildlife from human activity

We look at projects to reduce the harm caused to wildlife by human behaviour, visiting a windfarm in Finland and meeting fishermen in Cyprus.

From the way we catch food, to how we generate energy, human activity inevitably impacts on wildlife and the environment in unintended ways. So this week we’re looking at ways to reduce this collateral damage. We visit a windfarm in Finland that's using AI to predict bird flight paths and stop individual turbines before they cause damage. And we join some fishermen in Cyprus, who are using special green lights to warn turtles away from their nets.
