Biodiversity impacts associated to solar power projects
Solar plants have been shown to create positive biodiversity impacts when compared to other types of intensive land use. For example, solar plants in the UK previously used for agriculture were found to have a greater diversity of flora and birds when managed through grazing.
For more detailed information, read the IUCN Mitigating biodiversity impacts associated with solar and wind energy development Guidelines for project developers.
