American Wind Wildlife Institute reports on turbine wildlife impacts

The American Wind Wildlife Institute was founded in 2008 by leaders from the wind industry and conservation and science organizations with the vision of achieving wind energy’s full conservation potential. The Institute has released several updated versions of Wind Turbine Interactions with Wildlife and Their Habitats, noting siting and operational measures that can minimize wildlife impacts generally. The Institute’s 2018 white paper, Bats and Wind Energy: Impacts, Mitigation, and Tradeoffs, explores mitigation measures to reduce taking of bat populations by large-scale wind.
