风力发电场是印度可再生能源的重要来源;然而，它们在全国各地的分布可能会对当地和候鸟造成新的危害。这项研究探讨了在印度生态敏感区附近，包括联合国教科文组织世界遗产Bakkhali，鸟类触电和与风力涡轮机碰撞的风险。使用了地理信息系统和遥感技术。结果表明，脆弱性的本地鸟类，如谷仓猫头鹰，印度角鸮，蓝岩鸽，亚洲Koel，家乌鸦，共同的鹬，共同鹬，红麻鸭，小啸鸭，牛鹭，大白鹭，池鹭，以及迁移物种，如斑头雁，红冠潜鸭，美国黑鸭。修改风力涡轮机的设计和位置被认为是降低鸟类碰撞风险的决定性因素。
Wind farms are substantial sources of renewable energy in India; however, their spread across the country potentially present new hazards to local and migratory birds. This study explored the risk of electrocution and collision of birds with wind turbines close to eco-sensitive zones in India, including Bakkhali, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Geographic information system and remote sensing technology were used. The results indicate vulnerability of local bird species such as barn owl, Indian Scops Owl, Blue Rock Pigeon, Asian Koel, House Crow, Common Sandpiper, Common Snipe, Ruddy Shelduck, Lesser Whistling Duck, Cattle Egret, Great Egret, and Pond Herons, as well as migratory species such as Bar-headed Goose, Red-crested Pochard, and American Black Duck. Modification of wind turbine design and location were considered determinant factors to reduce risk of bird collisions.
