A French wind farm that was found to have killed over 1,000 birds, including a golden eagle, will be torn down on court order.
The Nîmes Court of Appeal ruled that the wind farm – based in the town of Lunas in the south of France – must be demolished and the land returned to its original state.
The court found that the turbines had been built on a site they should not have been following a defective impact assessment.
