Bird damage by wind turbines. Report of a workshop. Vogelschade door windturbines. Verslag van de workshop, gehouden op 5 June 1987 te Utrecht

Abstract

The purpose of this workshop was to reveal the results of research and practical experiences concerning bird victims as well as disturbance; to determine and describe the definition of the problem and to try to reach an agreement on the formulation of policy and needed research. In general the participants of the workshop (members of nature conservation, policy makers and researchers) showed a positive attitude in regard to wind power. Wind power can contribute, although a small percentage, to the electricity supply. At the same time it contributes to a decrease in air pollution and waste products. Taking other interests into account (agriculture, nature, neighbouring people), wind power planning should be further developed. For that matter the idea of a social contract is an attractive one. Primarily attention should be directed on birds. Sensors on the vanes to registrate every collision could provide more actual information about chances that birds really become victims of turbine rotor blades. Some coordination of further research is welcome. 2 app., 1 fig.
