Abstract
Frontiers’ Special Issue on translational ecology (TE) focused on the urgent need for “effective translation between good science and informed practice”. As scientists, practitioners, and conveners dedicated to facilitating wind energy development while protecting wildlife, we read that issue with the exciting ring of recognition. We commend such work that advances TE and would like to offer a few supporting observations, based on over 20 years of multi‐stakeholder collaboration in the area of wind energy and wildlife.
