초록

몽골의 초원이나 사막과 같은 개방지역에 설치된 송전선로에서 발생하는 조류 감전사고는 매우 흔하게 보고되고 있다. 본 연구는 조류피해조사를 위해 2017년 몽골 남부지역의 준사막 지역에 설치된 15-kV의 송전선로에 4월, 7월, 9월 등 총 3회에 걸쳐 조사를 실시하였다. 전체 250개의 전신주 구간에서 총 12종 45개체의 감전사한 조류를 확인하였다(10㎞마다 1.12% 사망률). 주요 감전 피해 조류는 멸종위기종인 Falco cherrug (n=11)와 Milvus migrans (n=11)로 나타났다. 본 연구지역과 같이 개방된 환경에서의 조류를 위한 잠자리 또는 휴식처의 부족은 보다 많은 조류의 감전사고를 발생시킬 수 있으며, 특히 몽골의 다른 개방지역에서도 발생할 수 있다. 사고현장에서 종동정이 어려운 개체의 경우, 시료의 유전자 증폭 등을 통해 DNA 분석을 실시하여 동정하였다. 본 연구결과 몽골의 개방지역에서 조류의 감전사고는 조류에게 발생하는 위험요소 중 높은 비율을 차지하고 있는 것으로 확인되었으며, 특히 맹금류에게 빈번하며, 간헐적으로 이동철새에게도 일어나고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 개방된 지역일 경우 조류의 감전사고가 더 잘 발생할 수 있으며, 감전사고와 같은 조류의 위험요소를 보다 잘 이해하는 것은 멸종위기종과 같은 종보전에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Bird electrocution on contact with electricity lines is well reported and is quite common in Mongolian open areas. We visited 15-kV electricity distribution pole lines in a Southern Mongolian semi-desert region three times in 2017, in April, July, and September, to assess their risks to birds. The carcasses of 45 electrocuted birds representing 12 species were identified from 250 poles (overall mortality rate of 1.12% every 10 km). The majority of these electrocuted birds were endangered Saker Falcon (n=11) and common Black Kite (n=11). The lacks of roosting or perching sites in our study sites (indeed other open areas in Mongolia) may resulted for such high rate bird electrocution. A 751-base pair (bp) cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene was amplified for DNA sequence-based identification of carcasses that were difficult to identify directly. Our findings revealed the high electrocution risk for birds in Mongolian open areas, especially for the birds of prey, with relatively low-efficiency electrocution mitigation approaches. The findings also indicate that there is a need for better understanding of the risk of bird electrocution, particularly in the open areas. This will contribute to the conservation of endangered species.
