Building knowledge and open data
Generating and sharing data on wildlife mortality from energy and transport infrastructure to enable transparent and science-based mitigation
Connecting science and practice
Turning research into real-world solutions to reduce wildlife mortality and support biodiversity-friendly infrastructure
Developing a global community
Bringing experts together worldwide to share knowledge and reduce infrastructure impacts on wildlife
Challenges
The urgency of a sustainable transition
To deal with climate change, we need to transition toward cleaner energy and more sustainable transport systems.
Infrastructure growth as a threat to Biodiversity
The rapid expansion of power lines, wind farms, railways, and roads can negatively affect wildlife and undermine conservation efforts globally.
Balancing progress with Nature
This calls for innovative, nature-conscious approaches that balance development with the protection of biodiversity.
What is RISKY?
RISKY is a digital platform that brings together open data and scientific knowledge on wildlife mortality caused by electrocutions and collisions at energy and transport infrastructures.
It offers powerful tools to analyse, predict, and visualize the impacts on terrestrial vertebrate populations, supporting more informed and environmentally responsible decision-making.
We are a consortium of four research institutions supported by GBIF Portugal and Spain as well as the Renewables Grid Initiative.

Our partners
Get involved with RISKY
Share mortality data
If you have data on collisions or electrocution related to power lines, wind farms, or railway infrastructure, we can include it in data papers and offer authorship.
Connect us with key stakeholders
If you have contacts at road agencies, public administration offices, energy operators, or other relevant stakeholders, we would love to engage them in this initiative.
Join Us
Spread the word
If you share our project within your networks will help us reach more researchers, students, agencies, and organizations working on energy and transport infrastructure.
