There is increasing evidence that wind energy developments have the potential to have significant negative impacts on bat populations (Voigta et al, 2012). Both Bat Conservation Ireland (Bat Conservation Ireland, 2012) and the Bat Conservation…
For years scientists have speculated that the unexpected number of bat fatalities around wind farms is the result of barotrauma-related injuries. Baerwald et al (2008) published a paper entitled ‘Barotrauma is…
Wind turbines and wind farms can cause problems for bats , and according to researchers the pressure differences that build up as the blades turn can implode the inner organs and lungs…
Bat Surveys Ireland are experts in the provision of bat surveys and bat impact assessments, particularly for wind farm sites. The risk of wind farm developments to bats is clearly greatest if turbines are proposed…
