Figure 2) An Asian Houbara found dead after colliding with a power line in the Abbas Abad Wildlife Refuge (Photo: Mr. Mehdi Jalalpour). Rangers participated in a one-day field workshop where they were trained in standardized protocols for identifying bird collisions, including recognizing physical signs such as feathers, injuries, or remains near power lines. They were provided with two dedicated contact numbers to report any observed collisions or signs of impact immediately. Rangers conducted bi-weekly inspections ofthe powerlines one year before and one year after installing the anti-collision spirals, documenting any observed bird collisions and focusing on the Asian Houbara. Additionally, local community members and conservationists were informed of the project and encouraged to report any bird collisions they witnessed. Rangers verified any reports from stakeholders through on- site visits to confirm collision evidence. This collaborative approach ensured thorough The strategic placement of these spirals
