Camissa delivers sustainable projects that maximize energy potential and minimize risk to wildlife
Camissa’s projects span a continuum of risk from low-risk sites with minimal biodiversity impacts, to very high-risk sites that require detailed mitigation and management plans. Camissa helps design and deliver bankable projects that comply with sustainability frameworks such as the International Finance Corporations Performance Standards.

Impacts of Wind Energy on African Bats
This was the first meta-study to assess the impacts of wind energy on bats in South Africa, describing patterns of bat fatalities across species, locations, and temporal periods. The study identified potential cumulative impacts on high-risk species, such as free-tailed bats. Findings also highlighted broader risks to bats beyond South Africa, with implications for wind energy development across the African continent.

Phu Lac 2 and Loi Hai 2 Wind Power Projects, Vietnam
This work involved delivering training and on-going technical support to a local consultancy to implement a post-construction fatality monitoring (PCFM) program for bats and birds at two wind power projects in Vietnam. This included developing a biodiveristy management plan, desinging a robust PCFM, and training in fatality estimation.

Pakistan Super Six, Jhimpir Wind Farm Region
In partnership with Natural Power, Camissa designed and developed a PCFM for birds and bats, and developed an operational phase biodiversity management plan for six IFC-funded wind power projects.
-

Zarafshan Wind Project, Uzbekistan
This project involved providing biodiversity expertise to the IFC in support of their investment in a wind power project in Uzbekistan. This involved a technical review of the ESIA, Critical Habitat Assessments, Biodiversity Management Plan & Biodiversity Monitoring and Evaluation Programme, and Collision Risk Management Plan.
