Britain’s large-scale solar PV industry delivering benefits for biodiversity and sustainable agriculture<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A growing body of scientific evidence indicates that well-designed and well-managed solar can support wildlife habitats and meaningfully contribute to achieving national biodiversity targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This document aims to present a broad range of examples of biodiversity enhancement and management, illustrating best practice through a series of case studies from our members, as well as new research from Lancaster University and the University of York who are driving this work
forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By supporting healthy ecosystems at a local level whilst avoiding climate change-causing emissions from coal and gas power stations,
\nsolar PV can play a significant role in the UK\u2019s response to both the climate and biodiversity emergencies.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n ~ Chris Hewett<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
