Birds and bats can collide with the turbines, but all companies in the sector work closely with environmental groups and groups dedicated to the conservation of these species in order to remedy this potential problem. Through increased knowledge of these species' behaviors, this joint effort reduces the impact these collisions have on the bird and bat populations and also helps to conserve them. Sound, radar and thermal image devices are used to protect the fauna. Furthermore, in compliance with the environmental regulations regarding wind power operators, all facilities must monitor the impact on birds and other animals, as well as for vegetation, with a commitment to measure such impacts and report them on an annual basis. In so doing, the presence of wind power facilities makes it possible to improve wildlife monitoring in the area concerned.
