Nature should not be overlooked in the race to deploy clean energy: BirdLife International CEO Martin Harper

Quick Summary:

The head of one of the world's largest conservation groups explains why its goal to expand the use of sensitivity mapping in Asia will lessen the impacts of renewable projects on nature.

Court petitions have been filed to protest against the frequent collisions of the critically endangered birds with overhead power lines, constructed as part of large-scale public and private renewable energy projects.

But numerous studies have shown that if renewables companies take nature into account in the design of projects, they are more acceptable to local communities, and are likely to get through the planning system quicker.
