Bats and Wind Energy

Unfortunately bats and wind energy don’t mix, with at least 24 species having been reported as killed by wind turbines in the U.S. and Canada.

Learn more on how BCI is partnering closely with wind industry to find approaches that can be simultaneously bat-friendly but also economically sensible.

Seeking Answers in the Wind

Thousands of spinning wind turbine blades may be threatening the survival of the hoary bat - one of North America’s most widespread migratory bats.

BCI and the wind industry are working together to find the right path forward to protect and preserve bats from this threat.
