Do wind farms harm birds or other wildlife?
The RSPB supports a broad mix of renewables, including solar, wind, and marine power, wherever they are used in ways that minimise unnecessary damage to wildlife. Moreover the RSPB recognises the wider threat posed by climate change. A recent report published by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) entitled ‘A Climatic Atlas of European Breeding Birds’ maps potential changes in distribution of all of the continent’s regularly occurring nesting birds as a result of climate change. The report states that “we need urgent action to cut greenhouse gas emissions, and redouble our efforts for nature conservation, if we are to avoid calamitous impacts on birds.” Click here to view the report.
