Wind power plants kill over 8,900 birds in Navarra
- Subai Fundazioa has published the report Biodiversity in Navarra, a vital resource in danger of extinction. It contains the data that the Government of Navarra collected until September 2021. The Fundación Subai stresses that these figures are minimal, since they correspond to the bodies counted around the wind mills. He says that the actual number of deaths is higher, as depending on where birds fall and above all bats carcasses that are very difficult to find or are eaten by predators and pizzas nothing else to die. In addition, the deaths caused by high and medium-voltage cables propagated by wind power stations should be added to this data.
Cavar zentral eolikoa. 2020an eraiki berria izanik, urte bakarrean 37 espezietako 206 heriotza zenbatu dira bertan. Argazkia: Iberdrola.
The Government of Navarra recorded a total of 8,961 birds and bats killed between 1998 and 2021. These bodies are 158 species.
The wind power plant Cavar, newly built in 2020, focuses on 206 deaths of 37 species in a single year. It is located between Valtierra and Cadreita, and before its construction the neighbors warned that their proximity to the Bardenas and their condition of place of passage of birds would cause damage.
Red Milano: the hardest hit of protected birds
Among the birds declared endangered in Navarra, the red milano is the deadliest species of windmills: the Government of Navarra has recorded 98.
The Naumann hawk is the most affected by windmills, with 36 bodies counted by the Government of Navarra.
Among all species of birds, the Leonado vulture is the most killed by windmills in Navarra: the Government of Navarra has recorded 3,359 dead bodies.
