Artificial nests ensure bird safety, power supply

More than 2,000 artificial nests will be installed on power poles scattered in a nature reserve on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau this year to protect wild birds and ensure electricity transmission.

The Longbao National Nature Reserve is located in Yushu Tibetan autonomous prefecture in Qinghai province.

"In the past, most areas of Yushu were almost completely dark at night. Very few lights could be seen in towns powered by small hydropower stations," said local resident Tashi.
