Small wind turbines and bats
While the danger to bats from large wind turbines has now been proved, there is still uncertainty about the effects of small wind turbines (SWT). Based on a before-and-after comparison, bat behaviour…

Species and site protection in planning
The main focus of the project is to standardise and optimise the processes for the legal review of species and site protection at higher planning levels. This concentrates in particular on the higher…
