LOUISVILLE, Colo., June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Boulder Imaging has announced a strategic partnership with Aerovantage, the official distributor of IdentiFlight in Chile, to expand its global reach and enhance wildlife conservation within the wind energy sector. With a shared commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology with environmental stewardship, Aerovantage will spearhead Boulder Imaging’s deployments of IdentiFlight in Chile’s rapidly growing renewable energy industry.

As Chile accelerates its transition to renewable energy, Aerovantage brings specialized expertise in environmental technology solutions, including bird detection systems, environmental monitoring, and sustainable engineering. This collaboration will advance the IdentiFlight mission to mitigate the impact of wind energy on biodiversity, with the system achieving 99 percent accuracy and reducing bird fatalities in wind farms by over 85 percent across 12 countries on five continents.

“Chile’s commitment to renewable energy must go hand in hand with protecting its rich biodiversity,” said Ricardo Jorquera, President of Aerovantage. “Our country is home to unique and vulnerable bird species, and the growth of wind energy requires innovative conservation measures. Partnering with IdentiFlight to deploy these advanced systems in Chilean wind farms ensures that our renewable energy expansion is sustainable and responsible.”

“Working with Aerovantage allows us to deliver innovative solutions that reflect our shared values of sustainability and environmental responsibility,” said Carlos Jorquera, Founder, CEO, and CTO of Boulder Imaging. “As someone with deep ties to Chile, this partnership carries special meaning for me. It is especially meaningful to see our technology contribute to the advancement of renewable energy and the protection of biodiversity in this region.”

Developed by Boulder Imaging, IdentiFlight is a cutting-edge bird detection and informed shutdown-on-demand system designed to minimize the environmental impact of wind energy projects. Utilizing advanced artificial intelligence and optical sensor technology, IdentiFlight detects, identifies, and assesses risks to sensitive bird species, such as the Andean condor and the Chilean flamingo. If the system determines that a collision risk exceeds a predetermined threshold, IdentiFlight will trigger a temporary shutdown of impacted wind turbines, balancing energy production with environmental protection.

The first IdentiFlight station in Chile is scheduled to be installed in 2025. This system has been trained to detect and identify over 100 bird species worldwide and plans to add 30 new species unique to South America by the end of the year.

King and Iraq President Discuss Regional De-escalation Efforts

by

Amman: His Majesty King Abdullah II received a phone call from Iraq President Abdul Latif Rashid on Wednesday, during which they discussed ways to support de-escalation efforts in the region.

According to Jordan News Agency, a royal court statement indicated that His Majesty called for stepping up Arab efforts to stabilize the ceasefire between Iran and Israel. The King emphasized the need to work effectively with the international community to stop the war on Gaza and to achieve comprehensive calm in the region.

The King also cautioned about the potential consequences of escalations in the West Bank and Jerusalem, which could impact the security and stability of the region, as mentioned in the statement.

UN Warns of Life-Threatening Fuel Shortage in Gaza

by

Amman: The United Nations warned on Wednesday that rapidly dwindling fuel supplies in Gaza are threatening efforts to sustain life-saving humanitarian operations in the besieged enclave. UN spokesperson St©phane Dujarric said Israeli authorities continue to restrict the entry of fuel into Gaza, effectively choking vital services for the deprived and hungry population.

According to Jordan News Agency, Dujarric emphasized the critical nature of fuel for Gaza, describing it as a “matter of life or death.” The shortage comes amidst ongoing Israeli bombardment, which continues to have devastating impacts on civilians. Many of those killed or injured in recent attacks were reportedly seeking humanitarian assistance at the time.

Dujarric urged Israeli authorities to urgently permit the entry of significantly larger quantities of aid supplies. These include essential items such as food, cooking gas, fuel, and shelter materials, all needed to prevent further deterioration of the humanitarian situation.

Hashemite Fund Hosts Workshop on Samh Plant and Sustainable Development

by

Amman: The Hashemite Fund for the Development of the Jordan Badia (HFDB) organised a workshop on Wednesday titled “Samh Plant: Reality and Aspirations Towards Sustainable Development.” Princess Basma bint Ali, Chair of the HFDB Board of Trustees, discussed forming partnerships between local communities, research institutions, and national organisations to promote sustainability in the production and utilisation of the samh plant, noting that the plant is an important cultural and heritage asset.

According to Jordan News Agency, Princess Basma called for developing a sustainable food value chain through genuine, collaborative efforts involving the HFDB, research centres, academia, the Royal Botanic Garden, local communities, and the private sector. She emphasised the need for a comprehensive short- and long-term plan that involves all stakeholders in preserving the plant. The plan should prioritise scientific research into the plant’s seeds, parts, and cultivation methods, aiming to transform samh into a market-ready Jordanian product within the next three years.

The opening ceremony saw the participation of Nabil Assaf, representative of the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) in Jordan; Mohammad Shahbaz, Director General of the Royal Botanic Garden; Mohammad Widyan, Director of the National Centre for Research and Development; along with academics, researchers from Jordanian universities and research centres, and leaders of participating associations.

Omar Gharaibeh, HFDB Acting Director, stated that since its establishment by royal decree, the Fund has focused on identifying the needs of Badia communities and developing economically feasible projects. He emphasised that the workshop aims to raise awareness about the samh plant’s importance for conservation, food security, cultural heritage, and sustainable development, especially in the context of climate change and water scarcity.

Gharaibeh discussed the recommendations from 2024’s samh festival and HFDB Chair’s directives to establish a technical committee of experts in plant production, food processing, and pharmaceuticals to support conservation efforts. The committee began its work earlier this year, setting clear, achievable goals.

Nabil Assaf said samh is a “natural treasure,” rich in nutrients, proteins, fiber, and minerals, making it a promising resource for enhancing food security in arid, climate-challenged environments. Assaf added that scientific research and improved cultivation practices can help expand its use, benefit local livelihoods, and generate sustainable income sources.

Shahbaz called for coordination between the HFDB and national research centres to preserve and propagate the samh plant, utilising the vast areas of the Jordanian Badia for development initiatives. The workshop featured two sessions: the first discussed the potential nomination of samh for UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list, the role of the Royal Botanic Garden in conserving indigenous plants, and the cultivation of wild samh in Jordan. The second session focused on scientific research’s role in securing samh’s future, its nutritional value, and methods of propagation.

On the sidelines of the event, the HFDB and the National Centre for Research and Development signed a memo to unify efforts, promote scientific collaboration, and develop initiatives for preserving Jordanian natural resources, including the samh plant. The agreement was signed by Omar Gharaibeh and Mohammed Widyan.

At the conclusion of the ceremony, Her Royal Highness toured a bazaar showcasing various samh-based products.
