Bumblebees are essential for ecosystems but are declining in Europe due to climate change and habitat loss. A study published in Global Change Biology explores how solar farms in the UK could aid bumblebee conservation. The research indicates that solar farms can create habitats and potentially double bumblebee populations if managed for biodiversity. However, the impact of surrounding land-use changes remains significant, and strategic planning is necessary to connect habitats. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
