People Fixing the World - Protecting wildlife from human activity

Download Protecting wildlife from human activity

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.

Presenter: Myra Anubi
Producer/Cyprus reporter: Claire Bates
