I would like to inform you that there is in Italy a new NGO whose name is "Comitato Nazionale del Paesaggio" (National Landscape Committee) that is fighting against destruction of landscape and first of all against Wind Turbines.

Italian mountains and sea coasts are threatened by plans to build hundreds of huge wind farms and large service roads.

Wind farms, as everyone can easily see where they are already a reality ,destroy completely the landscape and the natural environment. They cause also damages to local economy because tourists avoid the areas where wind farms are located.

They are noisy, dangerous and their action is negligible in reducing fossil fuel consumption and therefore in fighting against pollution and climate change.

Finally wind farms are responsible for destruction of birds of prey, soaring birds in general and migrant birds. In California, in Spain and in Italy important populations of birds of prey like golden eagle, griffon vulture (Spain), red kite (Italy) have been severely damaged in large areas because of impact with turbines.

We think that real environmentalists who really care for nature and wildlife should unite their efforts against spreading of wind farms in natural areas of Europe, but also in other parts of the world, where they are becoming a major threat to nature and landscape.

Public opinion is poorly informed about this dangerous problem, people think that wind farms are ecologically friendly and useful tools against climate change and air pollution.

Sincerely yours
