When it comes to the construction and operation of wind turbines, Sabowind puts a great deal of energy into finding and planning suitable compensation measures, which we implement together with the community to try to compensate for impacts right in the local area. The final agreement on compensation measures is then made with the nature conservation authorities. From unsealing of soils to planting of vegetation to the creation of naturalistic wetlands, no measure is off limits for enhancing the natural landscape and offering ecological added value for animals and nature.
We bring your projects to fruition.
Compensation measures include the following focal points
Natural landscape
- Structuring and enhancing the natural landscape
- Planting vegetation to create new refuges and feeding habitats for insects, birds and small mammals
Species conservation
- Creating new habitats by compensating for lost nesting areas
- Contributing to bird conservation
Soil
- Restoration of sealed areas
- Disposal of contaminated soils
- Reclamation of areas for nature conservation
Selected compensation projects
Creek restoration creates habitat for amphibians and birds
Water renaturation / opening of a piped water stream
To compensate impairments of nature and landscape due to the construction of a wind turbine at wind farm Tanna a creek was restored by opening the piped water stream and creating a meandering creek bed. Moreover, an initial plantation of trees and bushes as well as sowing of regional seeding material took place on stream banks.
The flowing water is rich in structures and the banks are designed close to nature, hence it provides habitat and refuge for many different species, such as amphibian and bird species.
