This book presents a review of the state-of-the-art knowledge on
the interactions between biodiversity and wind energy development,
focused on the Portuguese reality. The volume addresses the
particularities of the impact assessment procedures in Portugal,
contrasting it with the international practices and presenting its
main findings by covering the following broader themes: i)
evaluation of spatial and temporal dynamics of wildlife affected by
wind farms, including birds, bats and terrestrial mammals (in
particularly Portuguese wolf population); ii) the methodologies
used to assess impacts caused by this type of developments in
biodiversity; iii) the best practice methodologies to implement an
adaptive management approach to reconcile biodiversity and wind
farms. The knowledge presented in this book was gathered through
the research and development activities developed by Bioinsight
company (former Bio3 company) during the last 13 years and
partially funded by a R&D project designated as "Integrated
solutions for biodiversity management at wind farms: reduce and
compensate bird and bat mortality" (acronym: Wind &
Biodiversity), co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund
(FEDER), under the Regional Operational Programme of Centre (Mais
Centro). This volume fills a void in the literature as a book
giving insights on the best practices to install and manage a wind
farm from a biodiversity management point of view, while
establishing a commitment between economic sustainability and
biodiversity conservation.
