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
Pond restoration creates habitat for insects, birds, bats
Former bathing pond becomes biotope
The restoration of the former bathing pond in Schilbach (Tanna) took place in the context of the erection of Sabowind’s first wind turbine at the wind farm Tanna.
The biotope that came into existence by dismantling the concrete tank takes effect far beyond the restored space. The accretion zone with a successive growing vegetation, improves the habitat conditions for insects, birds and bats. Furthermore, landscape appearance is enhanced by the now near-natural pond.
