Golden Eagles in Karatau and the Chu-Ili Mountains (Kazakhstan) and Assessment of Risks to Its Populations from Developing Wind Energy #KAZ

Abstract The Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) is the largest eagle in Kazakhstan, breeding in almost all mountainous and forested areas of the country. In Karatau and the Chu-Ili Mountains, there are two large breeding groups of this species, which have been threatened by the development of a network of windpower plants (WPPs) since 2021, because both of these breeding groups are concentrated in powerful wind corridors that are promising for wind energy generation. We modelled the distribution of the Golden . . .
