We haven't found a way to make renewable energy project siting fully avoid conflicts with sensitive wildlife habitats.

Open Global / Global / Unspecified WS01033

Solar and wind farms are essential for clean energy but can sometimes be built in locations that disrupt sensitive wildlife habitats if siting isn't carefully planned. Balancing rapid renewable deployment with habitat protection remains an ...
