Solar energy expansion in China linked to declining bird diversity
An analysis of data from over 2,300 Chinese counties found that areas with strict solar energy policies experienced declines in bird diversity over the past decade. Even efforts to replant vegetation did not offset the losses, which the authors attribute to habitat disruption. The study suggests siting large solar projects in areas with lower ecological conflict.
