The project focuses on the impacts of wind energy on relevant wildlife in Switzerland. It focuses on research on bats, breeding/resting and migrating birds as far as collision risks, disturbances and mitigation measures are concerned (siting, operation, monitoring). The study will highlight Switzerland specific species groups and present insights for a biodiversity responsible wind energy deployment.
