Article Synopsis
- Wind energy is important for fighting climate change, but bird collisions with wind turbines can harm bird populations.
- A study using GPS data from 275 raptors in Europe aimed to understand how turbine height and rotor size affect these collision risks.
- Results showed that increasing turbine height decreased collision risk for most birds but increased it for the Short-toed Eagle, while larger rotor diameters increased risks across species, highlighting the need to tailor turbine designs based on local bird populations.
