The article has links for "power lines" (twice!), "wind" turbines, and "birds". Despite mentioning the vulnerability maps, it does not link to such a map. It does not even link to the study or paper. I imagine many people would be interested in those significant details.

Apparently, it's Hotspots in the grid: Avian sensitivity and vulnerability to collision risk from energy infrastructure interactions in Europe and North Africa (https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1365-2664.14160 https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1365...). It's fortunately open-access and it indeed has some low-resolution maps but I haven't seen a higher-resolution version (it's not vector even in the PDF version).

I was able to read the full study with maps here: https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1365-2664.14160 https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1365...

electrical power lines are "critical infrastructure" status in most countries; fifteen percent of countries worldwide do not publish official maps at all.. every country has protected information and publishing restrictions related to self-defense.

  Are you saying publishing a map of power related infrastructure would be illegal in some countries?

  Luckily, there's the OpenStreetMap-based Open Infrastructure Map: https://openinframap.org/ https://openinframap.org/

  The point was that this article had useless links in the article which were not pertinent to the specific topic, and it mentioned a map from a study, but it did not show or link to the map (or the study!). Other commenters replied to me and linked to the study, which does have a low-res but useful map. That is all I wanted, and it should have been linked in the original article.
