Development that threatens biodiversity is not legitimate climate action.
A new study by Finnish researchers says that wind turbines drive birds, bats, and terrestrial mammals away from their homes.
Vermont's Agency of Natural Resources has identified the priority forestland that is essential for much of Vermont's wildlife. Every utility-scale wind turbine in the state is located in highest priority forest.
If we allow energy developers to drive animals from their homes and block migration corridors with high-impact wind energy projects, then we are contributing to the catastrophic loss of biodiversity.
