Organizations Filed Purposes: TO FACILITATE TIMELY AND RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT OF WIND ENERGY WHILE PROTECTING WILDLIFE.

ENABLING APPLICATION: A KEY COMPONENT OF ENSURING THAT INFORMATION AND SOLUTIONS ARE AVAILABLE FOR USE IS COMPILING, SYNTHESIZING, AND SHARING SCIENTIFIC STUDIES, PUBLICATIONS, AND LEARNINGS. AWWI PLAYS A KEY ROLE IN THIS EFFORT BY CONTINUALLY STAYING ABREAST OF ALL WIND-WILDLIFE AND RELATED ACTIVITIES, DEVELOPING KEY SYNTHESIS RESOURCES, AND PROVIDING MULTIPLE VENUES FOR STAKEHOLDERS OF ALL EXPERTISE LEVELS TO ACCESS THIS INFORMATION. AWWI ALSO SUPPORTS THE UPTAKE AND IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR TOOLS AND RESOURCES BY REGULARLY ENGAGING WITH STAKEHOLDERS THROUGH DIALOGUE, OUTREACH, AND COMMUNICATION. THROUGH SYNTHESIS AND OUTREACH ON RESULTS, AWWI WORKS WITH COLLABORATORS TO ENSURE SOLUTIONS ARE USED TO ACHIEVE CONSERVATION OUTCOMES.

DEVELOPING SOLUTIONS: AWWI'S WORK ADVANCES COST-EFFECTIVE, SCIENTIFICALLY-ACCEPTED SOLUTIONS FOR WIND ENERGY AND WILDLIFE, WITH A FOCUS ON EAGLES, BATS, AND PRAIRIE GROUSE SPECIES. AWWI'S CUTTING-EDGE WORK IN TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION IS A CATALYST FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES AND PRACTICES TO AVOID AND MINIMIZE THE IMPACTS OF WIND ENERGY ON WILDLIFE. AWWI ENGAGES WITH RESEARCHERS TO CONDUCT SCIENTIFIC EVALUATIONS OF EMERGING AND AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGIES AND PRACTICES AT COMMERCIAL WIND ENERGY FACILITIES, RAISES PROJECT FUNDING, AND OVERSEES THE DESIGN AND EXECUTION OF THE TESTS TO ENSURE THAT RESULTS CAN BE COMPARED ACROSS MULTIPLE PROJECTS AND ARE SCIENTIFICALLY RIGOROUS. BY POOLING RESOURCES AND EXPERTISE FROM WIND INDUSTRY PARTNERS, AWWI CAN COORDINATE AND REPLICATE RIGOROUS VERIFICATION STUDIES, LEADING TO MORE RAPID AND WIDESPREAD ADOPTION OF SUCCESSFUL APPROACHES TO AVOID AND MINIMIZE RISK.AWWI ALSO WORKS TO DEVELOP, EVALUATE, AND IMPLEMENT TOOLS AND BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES TO COMPENSATE FOR REMAINING PREDICTED TAKE THROUGH MANAGEMENT THAT INCREASES SURVIVAL OR PRODUCTIVITY. BY ADVANCING THESE CRITICAL SOLUTIONS, AWWI'S FOCUS ON DEVELOPING SOLUTIONS SUPPORTS MAXIMIZING POWER PRODUCTION AND FACILITATING THE EXPANSION OF WIND ENERGY WHILE IMPROVING CONSERVATION OUTCOMES.

ASSESSING RISK: AWWI PROVIDES NEW INSIGHTS FOR UNDERSTANDING WIND ENERGY'S RISKS TO WILDLIFE THROUGH TOOLS INCLUDING NEW RISK MODELS AND THE AMERICAN WIND WILDLIFE INFORMATION CENTER (AWWIC) POST-CONSTRUCTION FATALITY DATABASE. IMPROVED UNDERSTANDING OF WIND ENERGY'S IMPACTS ON WILDLIFE IS A PRIORITY IF WE ARE TO ADVANCE WIND ENERGY DEVELOPMENT WHILE PROTECTING WILDLIFE AND HABITAT. FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS, WIND ENERGY COMPANIES HAVE UNDERTAKEN NUMEROUS STUDIES TO ASSESS RISK AND IMPACTS TO WILDLIFE FROM WIND ENERGY PROJECTS. SOME OF THE DATA ARE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE, BUT OTHER DATA REMAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND ARE PRIVATELY OWNED. AWWIC EXPANDS THE AVAILABILITY OF WIND-WILDLIFE DATA AND INFORMATION FOR SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS BY WORKING WITH INDUSTRY COLLABORATORS TO DEVELOP A PRIVATE POST-CONSTRUCTION FATALITY DATABASE. BY USING BIG DATA, AWWIC AND NEW RISK MODELS ARE REDUCING UNCERTAINTY AND INFORMING DECISION-MAKING TO HELP IMPROVE CONSERVATION.
