“…One particular instance is the decreasing number of Pakistani wetland bird species, Sterna acuticauda, due to habitat degradation, i.e., overgrazing, poaching, and summer floods (Altaf et al, 2018). With the rapid urban expansion of the late 20th century in response to the growing human population, maintaining and restoring ecosystems in urban settings became a difficulty (Riaz et al, 2019). This is in accordance with the conservation strategies suggested at several environmental conferences (Khera et al, 2009).…”

The study was conducted to estimate the bird diversity and the risks they confront at Head Trimmu, Distt. Jhang, Punjab, Pakistan. A number of field surveys were managed over 12-months by employing both direct and indirect means during certain hours of a day. The study found a total of 54 species from 15 orders and 31 families. The bird species were classified as residents (64.4%), breeders (8%), migrants (26%), and passage migrants (1.4%). The most frequent species observed during the study were house sparrow, house crow, domestic rock pigeon, ring-necked dove and common myna. Overall, the study revealed a diversified avian community with Shannon-Wiener diversity index of 3.3367. Only two species found near threatened like the Houbara bustard (Chlamydotis undulata)and Alexandrine parakeet (Psittacula eupatria) but the majority of the species are of least concern. The ecological richness of the area is under threat by urban development due to growing human population. So, the major threats to avian species in the study area are habitat degradation, Illegal hunting and lack of awareness. It is suggested to preserve avian diversity by the involvement of government agencies, private groups (WWF, IUCN, BirdLife International) and the general public.

Converter station refers to the station established in the HVDC transmission system to complete the conversion from AC to DC or DC to AC and meet the requirements of power system for safety, stability and power quality. Unlike AC substations, bird damage is more frequent due to its DC characteristics. Especially for high-voltage converter stations, the blackout caused by bird damage will cause more serious economic losses and social impact. Therefore, Pakistan ± 660kV Matiari-Lahore HVDC transmission project has been selected as the research object in this paper. Through the analysis of bird habits, four targeted bird prevention measures have been proposed and installed in the converter station for verification. The test results show that the proposed anti-bird damage measures can effectively reduce the number of bird damage trips and ensure the safe operation of the converter station.
