A conservationist approach to the eligibility of Dobrogea (Romania) as target area for exploitation of windresources

Dobrogea (south-eastern part of Romania) is a region with high biodiversity and at the same time a proper area for wind-resource exploitation. In the last few years there are several projects to establish wind-farm in this area. In order to have an overview on the potential conflict between the natu...

description Dobrogea (south-eastern part of Romania) is a region with high biodiversity and at the same time a proper area for wind-resource exploitation. In the last few years there are several projects to establish wind-farm in this area. In order to have an overview on the potential conflict between the nature conservation priorities (taking into account that in the region there are designated large sites as parts of the Natura 2000 European network of protectedareas) and the objectives of developers the central environmental protection authority requested a study focused on provisionof scientific background for potential administrative and juridical measures in order to avoid the negative impact of theseindustrial infrastructures on wild flora and fauna of Dobrogea. In the frame of the respective study there was investigated the current status of the species potentially threatened by the wind-farms and there were provided details for the main criteria for the establishment of sites where wind-mills could be present. The present work includes the most relevant aspects of the finalreport of the respective study, including the so-called “negative map” of Dobrogea and a proposal for the potential arrangementof wind farms in the central area of the Dobrogean mainland in order to avoid the so-called “barrier effect” of the industrialinfrastructures exploiting the wind resource of this region.
