With the aim of ensuring the survival of the best preserved population of Bonelli's eagle in the Region of Murcia, and species also threatened, in May 2001 a natural area is declared as Special Protection Area for Birds (ZEPA) Sierra de Almenara, Moreras and Cabo Cope.

The Department for Environment, together with ERZ-Endesa and Red Eléctrica de España, have launched the Project LIFE-Naturaleza for the improvement of power lines in ZEPAs in Aragón.

Red Eléctrica de España collaborates with the Regional Environmental Office of Valladolid in a study that analyses the role played by electrical lines in protecting the peregrine falcon.

Red Eléctrica de España has collaborated with Doñana Biological Station (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas) in a research study on the relations between the lesser krestel and electrical substations.

For more than 15 years now, Red Eléctrica has been developing an extensive programme of activities in the field of studying the interactions between birds and electrical power transmission facilities in an attempt to mitigate the incidence of these facilities on birdlife and favour compatibility in their use.

Red Eléctrica sets out its committment to biodiversity in its environmental policy, biodiversity strategy and the many actions it carries out in this area, to which it dedicates considerable manpower and financial resources.

This publication is as a result of Red Eléctrica's willingness to improve and optimise the environmental impact assessment processes in which it is involved, both as manager of the electricity transmission grid and as the driving force behind grid development projects. (Only available in Spanish)

In 2009 we began Red Eléctrica Forest ("El bosque de Red Eléctrica"), a project that contributes to the fight against climate change through the reforestation and, at the same time, to the conservation of biodiversity-rich areas or to recover deteriorated natural areas.
