Every year, tens of thousands of bats fall victim to wind turbines across Australia – but it doesn’t have to be this way. We can easily protect both the environment and these special animals with just one simple change.

Recent studies have shown that just increasing the wind speed that turbines use when they start spinning could significantly reduce bat deaths. Several European countries have already started using this solution with wonderful results!

But in Australia, most wind turbines still operate by old standards that leave bats vulnerable to death.

Please sign this petition to demand that Australian authorities mandate the use of higher start-speeds for wind turbines to save the bats!
