Avian mortality is one of the most negative impacts of wind energy. Consequently, techniques that effectively reduce avian collision rates are necessary. One of such method is the stop-turbine system, otherwise known as a Turbine Shutdown System (TSS). Here, we analyzed changes in mortality during 15 years, starting two years before the application of a selective stopping protocol (2006–2007) and after 13 years of application (2008–2020). This protocol was applied in Cadiz area (southern Spain) to 20 wind farms, totaling 269 wind turbines
