Green jobs must not compromise wildlife

Green jobs could include ensuring new environmentally-friendly measures do not damage wildlife.

This is if comments made by John Clare, policy media officer at the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, are anything to go by.

Mr Clare was speaking out after news broke of the Scottish government's plans to erect wind farms in scenic areas.

The farms will be taller than the London Eye and may have a direct visual impact on the regions.

Mr Clare said that developers of the farms needed to liaise with wildlife organisations to work out compromises as farms which threatened wildlife would be opposed "vociferously".

However, he added, "we are in favour of onshore wind farms because we do believe in climate change, it is real and we need to deal with it through green energy provision".

He suggested that developers and conservationists needed to have an "adult approach" to the matter.
