Development of wind-power and solar facilities is expected to increase dramatically in areas occupied by golden eagles in the western U.S. Renewable energy development in areas used by golden eagles poses a unique challenge to natural resource managers because of this species’ vulnerability to collisions with wind turbines and sensitivity to changes in human land-use.
Our research provides the scientific foundation needed to promote effective golden eagle conservation and compatible renewable energy development. Current research projects include:
Collaborators
