Here we advert for the degree of overlap between the expansion plans of the wind-energy sector and the conservation goals in the Brazilian Caatinga, the largest and most diverse dry forest of the Americas. This ecosystem harbors more than 70% of both installed capacity and planned expansion of wind-powered energy in Brazil. However, a great proportion of wind farms are both currently operating or planned to be installed in areas already mapped and selected as of very high and extremely high priority for biodiversity conservation. Infrastructure expansion must therefore be accompanied with increase protection to biodiversity and poverty amelioration to attain sustainable development goals. We claim that wind-energy companies to publicize their plans of expansion and assuming public commitments to safeguard the natural ecosystems, thus avoiding an undesirable conflict of interest.

在这里，我们注意到风能行业的扩张计划与巴西Caatinga（美洲最大，最多样化的干旱森林）的保护目标之间的重叠程度。这个生态系统拥有巴西装机容量和计划中的风能能源扩展的70％以上。但是，目前有很大比例的风电场正在运行或计划在已经作图和选择的地区进行安装，这是生物多样性保护的非常重要和非常重要的优先事项。因此，必须在扩大基础设施的同时增加对生物多样性的保护和减轻贫困，以实现可持续发展目标。我们声称，风能公司必须公开其扩张计划，并承担保护自然生态系统的公共承诺，
