WARSAW, Poland, June 16 (UPI) -- Plans to build a wind farm in northern Poland will never materialize thanks to European Union's law on bird protection, Warsaw ecologists said.
Polish environmentalists said construction of the ecologically-friendly wind power plant on Poland's Baltic Sea Debki beaches cannot be realized because it would pose a serious risk to the seaside's birds.
The wind farm's turbines would violate bird protection directives stipulated in Natura 2000, an EU ecological network set up in 1992.
Activists opposing construction of the wind farm said it would endanger some unique species that live along the Baltic seaside, Poland's thenews.pl Web site reported.
The wind farm was to be built as a joint venture between Polish and Danish companies.
