Theregisteredcompanyaddressis:Gewerbestrasse11,6330Cham,Switzerland Preface We are very pleased to introduce the proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Wind energy and Wildlife impacts (CWW 2017), held on 6–8 September2017,attheCentrodeCongressosdoEstoril,Portugal. Wind power can be used in many ways and has several known advantages. It is renewable, does not involve carbon emissions, minimizes overdependence on traditional sources of electricity, and has domestic potential, among other important gains. However, the potential for impacts on wildlife is still a reality with potential to affect populations of many species, due to habitat loss and fragmentation, disturbance, nonnative invasive species, and increased mortality by directcollision.Hence,today’schallengeisstilltomaximizewindenergy’sbenefits whileminimizingtherisktowildlife. Aiming toward this goal, the International Conference on Wind energy and Wildlifeimpacts(CWW)gathersexpertsfromallovertheworldaimingtopromote the international cooperation among academics, researchers, and professionals, which,overtheyears,havecontributedtobuildingknowledgeonthistopic. CWW started in 2011 being held since then biennially.

These proceedings volumeprovidearecordofwhatwaspresentedatCWW2017.Itcontains13papers coveringthesubjectsfrombothoralandposterpresentations.
