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:
To facilitate timely and responsible development of wind and solar energy while protecting wildlife and wildlife habitat.
REWI Partners
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.
Test out the new REWI Research Hub Prototype! Our goal is to develop a one-of-a-kind information-sharing center. Interactive and evolving, The Research Hub pools information from credible sources across the global renewable and wildlife research community. By making sound science accessible and consolidated, the Hub empowers energy and conservation/science stakeholders to make data-informed decisions, streamlining paths forward toward renewable energy and conservation goals
WWRF becomes Renewable Energy Wildlife Research Fund
In late 2021, the Wind Wildlife Research Fund Advisory Council voted to expand its research scope to include solar power and wildlife research topics and projects. Reflecting new, broadening research priorities, the Advisory Council renamed the research funding body to Renewable Energy Wildlife Research Fund. By addressing top renewable-wildlife research priorities, the Fund ensures that wind and solar energy development, wildlife, and related natural resource protection go hand-in-hand.

Solar Symposium: Proceedings
These Proceedings of the Solar Power and Wildlife/Natural Resources Symposium, 2021, summarize more than 80 On Demand presentations and panel discussions on current research pertaining to solar power and related wildlife and natural resources.
AWWI Relaunches as REWI!
Washington, D.C., January 18, 2022– Founded in 2008, the American Wind Wildlife Institute (AWWI) has been instrumental in advancing the science regarding how wind energy affects wildlife and habitat. Today, the organization is re-launching itself as the Renewable Energy Wildlife Institute (REWI, pronounced ree-Y), to reflect a newly expanded scope that now includes solar.
