Wind energy development contributes substantially to achieve climate protection goals.
Unintended side effects, especially on wildlife, have long been discussed and substantial …

We reviewed published and unpublished written reports on bat mortality at wind farms in
northwestern Europe. The estimated number of bats killed per turbine annually was …

Bird and bat fatalities increase with wind energy expansion and the only effective fatality‐
reduction measure has been operational curtailment, which has been documented for bats …

Wildlife planning for renewable energy must cope with the uncertainties of potential wildlife
impacts. Unfortunately, the environmental policies which instigate renewable energy and …

The development of wind energy continues to increase around the world. Following the first
studies on collisions of birds with turbines in the 1990s, knowledge has been shared …

We monitored the bat fatalities caused by a 13 turbines wind facility installed in western
Puerto Rico (West Indies) over a period of 23 months. The post-construction monitoring …

Small wind turbines (SWTs) have become increasingly common within the last decade, but
their impact on wildlife, especially bats, is largely unknown. We conducted an operational …

Bat mortality resulting from actual or near-collision with operational wind turbine rotors is a
phenomenon that is widespread but not well understood. Because bats rely on information …

The UK Government is committed to the conservation of indigenous biodiversity as well as
renewable energy targets. Renewable electricity currently represents nearly 19% of total …

Bat mortality at wind turbine installations has been claimed to be an increasing problem and
an obstacle to the growth of the wind industry, the mitigation of which is of great importance …
