On November 15, 2022, in conjunction with the 2022 Wind Wildlife Research Meeting, the Renewable Energy Wildlife Institute (REWI) and National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) convened a workshop to facilitate a strategic conversation and spur future actions to ultimately increase the management value of post-construction fatality monitoring.
Representatives from research institutes, federal agencies, and the wind energy industry provided background on the post-construction monitoring landscape, conservation, research priorities for birds and bats, and the challenges and opportunities in implementing fatality monitoring at wind energy facilities.
