أثر تفعيل دور الادارة البيئية على تقليل المخاطر التى تتعرض لها الطيور المهاجرة بمنطقة جبل الزيت بمصر

Abstract EN

The aim of this research is to study the environmental risks of establishing wind power plants in Jabal Al-Zayt area, which is considered one of the most important areas in the world for bird migration.

The research also aims to study the effect of activating environmental management on reducing these risks.

A- Data were obtained from bird migration monitoring studies, which studied bird types and trends in the study area over a period of 17 years during the migration seasons in spring and autumn, studies were carried out by the New and Renewable Energy Authority as well as the studies carried out by the Ministry of Environment during the period From 2006 until 2020.

Statistical analysis was used to calculate the numbers and rates of migratory birds inside wind farms to determine the environmental risks to the study area.

B- A questionnaire was designed to collect data and distributed to a sample of (100) workers at the project site to study the impact of activating environmental management on reducing these risks.

To verify the validity of the research hypotheses, the researchers used a number of statistical methods represented in means, standard deviations, and progressive multiple regression analysis.

The study concluded with the following results: A - Exposing migratory birds to the risk of collision with wind turbines, as well as to the risk of barrier and the risk of changing migratory paths to avoid wind farms, which exposes birds to fatigue or deviation towards the Gulf waters, B- There is an impact of environmental management combined dimensions on the risk of collision by 99.1% , On the risk of barrier by 93.3% , and on changing the path of birds by 88.8% .

The study recommended activating environmental management through the establishment of environmental management unit within the organizational structure of wind energy projects to preserve and protect birds, benefit from the large numbers of migratory birds by preparing media campaigns to introduce and watch them, thus stimulating tourism and increasing the economic return in this field.
