Study links China's solar expansion to declining bird diversity

Research spanning 2,344 counties finds solar farms fragmenting habitat and cutting bird diversity, especially in wealthier, non-desert regions.

What to know

  • A study covering 2,344 Chinese counties links solar power expansion to declines in bird diversity.
  • Wealthier, non-desert regions saw the greatest species loss as habitat was fragmented.
  • The findings set up a tension between China's carbon-reduction policy and biodiversity conservation, with authors urging more careful planning.
