Two wind energy initiatives launched: landscape protectors demand participation and forest protection

The Swiss Free Landscape Association presented the initiatives to the media in Bern on Monday. The association writes that the requests are supported by community representatives, members of cantonal parliaments, scientists, conservationists, lawyers and monument conservators.

The forest protection initiative requires that wind energy systems may only be planned and built outside forests and woodland meadows. The initiators write that forests are not only vital for biodiversity, but also for people.
