Wind energy development represents significant challenges and opportunities in
contemporary wildlife management. Such challenges include the large size and extensive …

The potential effects of the proposed increase in wind energy developments on birds are
explored using information from studies of existing wind farms. Evidence of the four main …

The evidence for anthropogenically induced climate change is overwhelming with the
production of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels being a key driver. In response …

The extent to which seabirds are displaced from, or attracted to, offshore wind farms (OWFs)
is uncertain, but rapid development of OWFs in European waters could conflict with seabird …

The wind power industry has grown rapidly in the UK to meet EU targets of sourcing 20% of
energy from renewable sources by 2020. Although wind power is a renewable energy …

Most anthropogenic influences on marine ecosystems, except for river‐or terrestrial‐borne
pollution, involve some sort of vessel activity. Increasing anthropogenic activities mean that …

Government targets for renewable energy have led to a huge increase in wind farm
proposals. Because of its high wind resource, Scotland has more proposed wind farms than …
