Local Wind Energy Development Has Broad Consequences for Golden Eagles

Study Shows Shocking Scope of Wind Turbine Bird Deaths

Wind turbines killing more than just local birds, study finds

http://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/releases/2016/Q3/wind-turbines-killing-more-than-just-local-birds,-study-finds.html

Paper: Golden Eagle fatalities and the continental-scale consequences of local wind-energy generation

http://sci-hub.cc/10.1111/cobi.12836

Quote: "... it is important to the continued growth of the renewable-energy industry to find mechanisms to minimize, mitigate, and reduce negative consequences of energy extraction to ecosystems. Few preconstruction environmental impact assessments consider  consequences  beyond  local  populations and ecosystems. Our data suggest the relevance of accounting  for  these  large-scale  consequences  in sustainable operation of renewable energy facilities."

Saving two endangered adult Bonelli's eagles per year could prevent species loss

http://phys.org/news/2016-09-endangered-adult-bonelli-eagles-year.html?utm_source=nwletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily-nwletter




GUIDELINES FOR THE CONSERVATION OF BONELLI'S EAGLE POPULATIONS

http://www.ree.es/sites/default/files/projects/guidelines_bonelli_conservation_2016.pdf

Paper: Electrocution threatens the viability of populations of the endangered Bonelli's eagle (Aquila fasciata) in Southern Europe

http://sci-hub.cc/10.1016/j.biocon.2015.06.028

Quotes:

"The new statistical model as well as other studies carried out in recent years shows that stopping adult deaths is 10 times more efficient demographically than trying to make baby birds fly. This information is very important for the conservation managers because it allows them to be more effective and optimize their means."

"Our results highlight the fact that even low levels of electrocution can drive a local population to extinction."

"...we believe that the optimum strategy in Bonelli's eagle is to focus initially on mitigating the electrocution of territorial birds..."

(I can barely make out what the heck this article is talking about, but apparently birds are a named threat to the technology. Go figure.)
