Since early on in the development of wind-energy production,
concerns have arisen about the potential impacts of turbines to
wildlife; these concerns have especially focused on the mortality
of birds. Structural changes and improved turbine design have been
instrumental in reducing mortality in birds. Despite the
improvements to turbines that have resulted in reduced mortality of
birds, there is clear evidence that bat mortality at wind turbines
is of far greater conservation concern. Larger and taller turbines
actually seem to be causing increased fatalities of bats. Numerous
research opportunities exist that pertain to issues such as
identifying the best and worst placement of sites for turbines; and
mitigation strategies that would minimise impacts to wildlife
(birds and bats). This book focuses on refereed journal
publications and theses about bats and wind-energy development in
North America.
