Wind Turbines, negative downstream effects by removing predator raptors.
Wind turbines aren’t quite ‘apex predators’, but the truth is far more interesting November 7, 2018 | Jeroen Minderman| theconversation.com In some ways, it may indeed seem as if wind turbines act similarly to the introduction of an “apex predator” into the food chain: by reducing the number and activity of intermediate predators such as birds … Continue reading Wind Turbines, negative downstream effects by removing predator raptors.
Maine’s Mountains and Ridgeline’s targeted by Industrial Wind Turbine Plants.
While visiting Acadia National park in the fall of 2018, we were able to see the Turbines from many of the view locations. Ellsworth American Editorial Blasts Wind Power Development in Maine July 4, 2015 | Brad Blake | windtaskforce.org The Ellsworth American Newspaper clearly understands the issues regarding the proliferating wind scourge in Maine. It's good … Continue reading Maine’s Mountains and Ridgeline’s targeted by Industrial Wind Turbine Plants.
Adverse environmental effects from industrial wind turbines.
Adverse environmental effects from industrial wind turbines Industrial wind turbines do not have a benign environmental foot print as has been claimed. Biologists are observing habitat fragmentation and habitat loss, wildlife disturbance and life history disruption when turbines are placed in natural habitats. (1) Bird and bat abundance declines at wind turbine sites and this … Continue reading Adverse environmental effects from industrial wind turbines.
Natural Climate Solutions: Nature’s sleeping giant
Natural Climate Solutions, The Nature Conservancy Climate change is a global problem, and it requires solutions on a global scale. One of those is hiding in plain sight. Our lands provide an untapped opportunity – proven ways of both storing carbon and reducing carbon emissions in the world’s forests, grasslands and wetlands: natural climate solutions. … Continue reading Natural Climate Solutions: Nature’s sleeping giant
The Importance of Keeping Forests Intact
A recent study illustrates why humans need to step up their efforts to save the world's forests. FEB 28, 2018 | Morgan Erickson-Davis | Pacific Standard When it comes to habitat quality and ecosystem services, research has shown that natural landscapes do it best. A new study, published recently in Nature, adds fodder to this … Continue reading The Importance of Keeping Forests Intact
U.S. Geological Survey, Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center
U.S. Geological Survey, Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center Overview As with many land uses, trade-offs exist between costs and benefits. New wind developments are occurring rapidly in parts of the United States, often leaving little time for evaluation of potential site-specific effects. These developments are known to affect wildlife, directly from fatality due to collision … Continue reading U.S. Geological Survey, Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center
