     "text": "The Renewables-Wildlife Solutions Initiative-- or RWSI--develops science-based tools to understand population-level and cumulative impacts for wildlife affected by renewable energy facilities. RWSI members gather, archive, and analyze tissue samples from birds and bats killed at renewable energy facilities across the country. These samples are used in genetic or isotopic analyses to identify the geographic origins of individuals. Effective conservation strategies for renewables require information on when individual fatalities become so numerous that they threaten the stability of bird and bat populations. RWSI provides that critical information."
