A paper published in Science on Friday found that China’s rapid construction of solar panels has damaged the environment and reduced biodiversity, especially among birds, who have lost habitat space plus foraging and breeding grounds to the vast fields of photovoltaic cells.
The Science paper — produced by researchers from China, Vietnam, and the United States — began with the required genuflections towards the renewable energy industry but admitted that “clean energy also will have a large footprint on nature.”
Researchers studied over 2,000 counties in China and found those with the most solar panels experienced “reductions in bird diversity, primarily due to land conversion.”
