³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s mission is to protect birds, and two-thirds of North American bird species are at risk of extinction unless we cut pollution and slow global temperature rise. Heat waves, increasingly severe storms, and other climate impacts are already affecting birds and communities.
Integrating responsibly sited wind and solar energy as part of an affordable and resilient energy portfolio is essential for bird conservation. We also need to modernize and expand the grid to ensure the reliable delivery of power. All infrastructure can pose a risk to birds, but potential impacts from renewable energy and transmission can be addressed with careful planning informed by science.
There is no path to stabilizing the climate without dramatically changing how we generate electricity. ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ is playing an influential role in ensuring that this shift happens swiftly and responsibly—for example, by ensuring bird-friendly siting for wind farms that minimizes disruption to migratory pathways and habitats.
