The Green Dilemma: Energy Transition and Wildlife in South Africa | Special ORC 2025 Episode 3
Update: 2025-11-06
Description
Special Episode 3 — Recorded live at the Oppenheimer Research Conference 2025.
South Africa needs more clean energy and raptors need safe skies. Raptor biologist Merlyn Nomusa Nkomo lays out practical ways to make wind farms wildlife‑smart without stalling the transition. We cover how risk mapping keeps turbines out of migration corridors, why blade painting and shutdown‑on‑demand (triggered by radar or trained observers) can cut collisions, and how developers, scientists, and regulators share data to avoid hotspots. It’s a fast, pragmatic conversation about building the grid while protecting endangered species.
