A Groundbreaking Collaboration
We are a partnership of leaders in the wind industry, wildlife management agencies, and science and conservation organizations who collaborate on a shared mission:
To facilitate timely and responsible development of wind energy while protecting wildlife and wildlife habitat.
AWWI Partners
Enabling Sustainable Results
Study
AWWI uses novel approaches to assess risk and reduce uncertainty. This informs permitting, siting, and operation to advance wind energy and improve conservation.
Solve
Technology makes it possible to minimize impacts to birds and bats. Collaborative research identifies priorities and informs best practices to avoid, minimize, and offset impacts.
Act
Through outreach and collaboration, AWWI shares the latest research and helps partners implement wind-wildlife solutions.
New Success Story on FAA Lighting at Wind Farms
“The biggest event in wind turbine lighting that almost no one has heard of.” Cross-sector research on the effects of FAA lighting on wildlife is helping ensure lighting regulations don’t pose a risk for birds and bats.
