Within the framework of the EU-funded project LIFE-IP ZENAPA (Zero Emission Nature Protection Areas), a short presentation on the topic “Effects of Solar Farms on Biodiversity” has been published.
Currently, climate change is one of the greatest threats to the world’s biodiversity, and species are also under pressure due to habitat loss. Large solar farms play an important role in the transition of our energy production from fossil fuels to renewable energy. At the same time, even when a solar park is built, land use is always in competition with other forms of use, both for nature conservation and agricultural production. However, a variety of solutions and ideas now exist to promote biodiversity on the land of a solar park while at the same time not jeopardising the competitiveness of the plants on the market. The use of agri-photovoltaics is also becoming increasingly important. In the paper, different possibilities for creating a symbiosis between solar park yield and biodiversity protection are highlighted. In line with the ZENAPA philosophy that the conservation goals of climate, nature and species protection do not contradict each other, but can be achieved cooperatively, the authors agree that such symbiotic concepts can already be implemented in practice today.
The paper has also been published in German: „Einflüsse von Solarparks auf die Biodiversität“
Katika mfumo wa mradi wa EU-financed LIFE-IP ZENAPA (Zero Emission Nature Protection Areas), uwasilishaji mfupi juu ya mada ya "Madhara ya Mashamba ya Jua juu ya Biodiversity" imechapishwa. Mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa ni moja ya vitisho vikubwa kwa biodiversity ya dunia, na spishi pia ni chini ya shinikizo kutokana na hasara ya makazi. Mashamba makubwa ya jua yana jukumu muhimu katika mpito wa uzalishaji wetu wa nishati kutoka kwa mafuta ya visukuku hadi nishati mbadala. Wakati huo huo, hata wakati wa ujenzi wa Hifadhi ya jua, matumizi ya ardhi ni daima katika mashindano na aina nyingine za matumizi, wote kwa ajili ya uhifadhi wa asili na uzalishaji wa kilimo. Hata hivyo, kuna aina mbalimbali za ufumbuzi na mawazo sasa kuwepo kukuza bioanuwai juu ya ardhi ya Hifadhi ya jua wakati huo huo bila kuhatarisha ushindani wa mitambo katika soko. Matumizi ya agro-photovoltaics pia inakuwa muhimu zaidi. Katika karatasi, uwezekano tofauti kwa ajili ya kujenga symbiosis kati ya mazao ya mbuga ya jua na ulinzi wa bioanuwai ni highlighted. Kwa mujibu wa falsafa ya ZENAPA kwamba malengo ya uhifadhi wa hali ya hewa, asili na ulinzi wa spishi hazipingani, lakini zinaweza kupatikana kwa ushirikiano, waandishi wanakubali kwamba dhana kama hizo za symbiotic zinaweza kutekelezwa katika mazoezi leo. Karatasi pia imechapishwa katika Kijerumani: <unk>Einflüsse von Solarparks auf die Biodiversität<unk>
