Fantastic news - the Kenyan environment regulator (NEMA) has refused permission for a biofuel project that could have completely destroyed Dakatcha Woodland, one of only two sites in the world with the globally endangered Clarke's weaver. However, we still have cause for concern...
Aberdeen's wish to show that it can do with wind power what it has already done with North Sea oil must not be at the expense of important bird populations off the city's shores.

We realise wind farm development is important for reducing carbon dioxide emissions from energy production, however we are concerned about the impacts that an application for an extension to the Clyde Wind Farm will have on protected species.
The south west is blessed with a geography and climate that should be able to support a vibrant renewable energy industry. However, while there is a great prize to be won here, we need to work hard to ensure that any renewable energy development is sited in the right place with minimal impact to the environment.
