Because of the fast rate of wind-energy development it will become a challenge to verify
impacts on birdlife and construe ways to minimise these. Birds colliding with wind turbines …

As wind energy deployment increases and larger wind‐power plants are considered, bird
fatalities through collision with moving turbine rotor blades are expected to increase …

Climate change scenarios and efforts to reduce CO2 emissions have increased the focus on
wind power and other renewable energy sources. Despite producing “clean” electricity …

Evidence is increasing of bird mortality due to large‐scale wind‐energy development.
Soaring raptors, such as the white‐tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla), have proven …

Birds colliding with turbine rotor blades is a well‐known negative consequence of wind‐
power plants. However, there has been far less attention to the risk of birds colliding with the …

There is increasing concern about the impact of the current boom in wind energy facilities
(WEF) and associated infrastructure on wildlife. However, the direct and indirect effects of …
