The Renewable Energy Wildlife Institute (REWI) highlighted decades of cross-sector collaboration around wind energy and wildlife with a special session at the 15th biennial Wind Wildlife Research Meeting (WWRM).
Enabling Sustainable Results
Study
REWI uses novel approaches to assess risk and reduce uncertainty. This informs permitting, siting, and operation to advance renewable energy and improve conservation.
Solve
Technology makes it possible to minimize impacts on wildlife. Collaborative research identifies priorities and informs best practices to avoid, minimize, and offset impacts.
Act
Through outreach and collaboration, REWI shares the latest research and helps partners implement renewable energy-wildlife solutions.
A Groundbreaking Collaboration
We are a partnership of leaders in industry, wildlife management agencies, and science and conservation organizations who collaborate on a shared mission:
Through science and collaboration, accelerate responsible deployment of renewable energy to mitigate climate change and protect wildlife and ecosystems.
