In recent years there has been a multiplication of infrastructures that should produce effects against climate changes: wind turbines, dams and solar parks are also multiplying within protected areas. These works also generate the development of roads and artifacts which, likewise, negatively affect biodiversity, as repeatedly highlighted by scientific studies.
In particular, explains the EU parliamentarian Marco Dreosto, wind power plants have a particular impact on migratory birds, which, passing through the migratory phases during the night, frequently collide with the blades, getting killed.
For this reason, the vice president of the hunting, biodiversity and rural culture Intergroup, together with the French colleague Aurelia Beigneux, who is particularly concerned about the implementation of the Blayais wind farm project, which would be part of a marshy area classified in the Natura 2000 network, wanted to ask the EU Commission what it intends to do to stop these expansions that damage our biodiversity. “I find it paradoxical that Europe can promote the choice of green energy to the detriment of biodiversity itself which then asks, rightly, to protect, we expect a stance aimed at common sense ”concluded the Hon. Dreosto.
