This spring in the regional landscape park “Tiligulsky” in Mykolaiv region, an unusual eco-project was launched. Its aim is to increase population of rare and endangered bird species – population management. The project’s idea is to install artificial islands for those feathered inhabitants who lack safe place for breeding.

The project was initiated by DTEK Renewables, one of the largest electricity producers from the renewable energy sources in Ukraine. By increasing its portfolio of projects in renewable energy, DTEK Renewables fights climate changes, uses land plots unsuitable for agriculture to build solar power plants and conserves biodiversity to minimize the impact on wildlife.

Watch a short video how the Bird Islands look like and who has already settled there.

DTEK Group is the largest private investor in Ukraine’s energy sector, with 55,000 employees and over €12 billion of capital invested since 2005.

Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, DTEK Group has restored power to millions of consumers across regions affected by hostilities.
