Description
Summary:To minimize wildlife-turbine conflict, the USFWS established voluntary National Wind Energy Guidelines (2003) that recommend an Avian or Avian and Bat Protection Plan (ABPP) for compliance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. [...]given the historical distribution of Golden Eagles in eastern North America and the potential negative genetic consequences of translocation programs, we recommend that introductions or translocations of western Golden Eagles into states east of the Mississippi be discontinued.
