Bird protection at offshore wind turbines
The threat to bird migration represents a potential conflict for the expansion of offshore wind energy. However, there is currently no technical basis for recognising periods of increased collision…

Changes of use in Natura 2000 sites
To what extent is the network of Natura 2000 protected sites affected by the expansion of renewable energies? The project will examine this question by selecting methods and remote sensing data and…

Effectiveness of bird flight diverters
Bird flight diverters are used throughout the world to reduce collisions by birds at overhead power lines and the additional mortality associated with this. Their effectiveness is determined by…

Effectiveness of control measures for the red kite
The project aims to optimise the planning and approval process for wind turbines and to minimise the risk to bird species sensitive to wind turbines. A field studies-based evaluation will be made of…

Effectiveness of mitigation measures
There is a wide range of current measures used to minimise the adverse effects of wind turbines on birds. These include regulating the operation of the turbine, preventing birds being attracted to it…

Energy-efficiency refurbishment and species conservation
In order not to exacerbate the "housing shortage" for birds and bats during building refurbishment, environmental and species protection must be linked together and jointly promoted. This three-year…
