Fact Sheet: Upscaling Individual Effects of Wind Energy to Population Impacts on Wildlife

Populations to Individuals Fact Sheet Banner

For wind energy projects, one of the greatest challenges is understanding population level impacts as it is important to distinguish between the effects wind energy developments have on individuals and how these ultimately impact populations. The Individuals to Population summary (fact sheet) was created to provide a summary of the WREN Individuals to Populations white paper and to highlight the need to upscale effects to the level of the broader populations that such individuals are part of. 

Upscaling Individual Effects of Wind Energy to Population Impacts on Wildlife (English)
