‘Fireflies’ Help Save Critically Endangered Birds in India ‘Fireflies’ Help Save Critically Endangered Birds in India Comments Off on ‘Fireflies’ Help Save Critically Endangered Birds in India MUMBAI Thousands of “fireflies” are helping to save the critically endangered great Indian bustard in Jaisalmer, a desert city in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan. More than 1,800 bird diverters which from a distance look like fireflies have been installed on the power lines in Jaisalmer, where the majority of the country’s 150 remaining great Indian bustards live. A report by the Ministry of Environment submitted to the National Green Tribunal in 2019 said that adult mortality among the bustards “is still very high due to collisions with power-lines that criss-cross their flypaths.” The report calculated that 15 percent of the bustards may be dying due to the high density of transmission lines in Rajasthan and Gujarat.
