Protection of birds and bats – Gawłowice Wind Farm

Ornithological and chiropterological studies were carried out in 2015, 2016 and 2018 after the construction of the turbines. The reports on each study were submitted to the competent authorities after collecting and analyzing the data.

The monitoring reveals that the wind farm does not exert any unfavorable impact on birds or bats, the breeding avifauna in its area is medium-sized and the number of breeding bird species since the moment of its construction has remained at a similar level.

Mortality with a body disappearance rate experiment is 1.28 organisms/MW/year. The local communities (consultation point at the commune hall) and the Regional Directorate for Environmental Protection were informed about every year of the studies and about their results. The latest annual monitoring cycle took place in 2018; the studies again did not prove an increase in the mortality rate. In 2019, the final reports on the studies were submitted for examination and approval to the Regional Directorate for Environmental Protection.

In July 2019, the Director of the Regional Directorate for Environmental Protection in Bydgoszcz approved the received documents and found no significant adverse impact of the project on birds and bats and stated the compliance with the conditions specified in the decision on environmental conditions and the guidelines.
