The State Grid "Green Ark" Program specifically aims to protect primary habitats of rare species. By implementing green power supply systems in these sensitive ecological zones, the State Grid Corporation ensures a dependable supply of clean energy and supports biodiversity conservation research and practices through digital transformation tools, ultimately preserving ecological diversity.

During the event, the company's workers deployed drones equipped with infrared imaging technology to inspect outdoor transmission lines comprehensively, thus safeguarding the mountainous area's delicate ecological balance. Employees also introduced visitors to the rich diversity and unique charm of bird resources, detailing their morphology, habits, and geographical distribution within Zhejiang. This allowed participants to better appreciate the significance of "International Bird Day" and "Bird Protection Week."

"We have already transformed local homestays, tea-processing workshops, and farmhouse restaurants within Sky City into a fully electric scenic spot," explained a staff member from the Taizhou Power Supply Company. "Looking forward, we plan to install intelligent ecological monitoring devices throughout the area. This technology will enable real-time monitoring of power lines and bird movements, so that we can make more contributions to the protection of biodiversity." (Written by Feng Jing)
