![]() ![]() Ultimately, our actions at the nexus of renewable energy development and wildlife conservation must be directed by current, science-based information related to ecological effects of renewable energy development. The interface between renewable energy development and wildlife conservation is rich with stimulating scientific questions and interesting research stories. Energy generation affects wildlife in complex and fascinating ways. Renewable energy has obvious benefits, not the least of which is mitigating climate change through the substitution of greenhouse-gas emitting fossil fuels for electricity production, yet the “greenness” of renewable energy comes in many shades. Renewable energy ecology provides a means by which to inform a sustainable energy future on Earth and conserve wildlife in light of rapid and expansive renewable energy development. As the human population increases exponentially, we must find ways to provide more energy to more people while sustaining natural resources for future generations. ![]() ![]() The fossil fuel era will inevitably come to end, and the world is transitioning to a renewable energy future. During this period of unprecedented energy expansion, land scarcity, and global change, renewable energy presents both opportunities and challenges for our sustainable energy future. ![]()
