Every year,
millions of migratory birds are killed in cities across
North America, with New York City being one of the
deadliest due to its glass skyscrapers, which cause
countless bird collisions, particularly during migration
seasons. However, there is hope:
after thousands of bird deaths, Chicago's
McCormick Place finally implemented bird-friendly glass
treatments, reducing bird fatalities by 95%. It's time
for New York City to adopt similar policies to protect
birds from its skyscrapers.
Sign this petition to urge
the New York City Council to implement a bird-friendly
design ordinance for all buildings in migration
corridors.
The truth is,
New York City is a critical stop for migratory birds,
and the cost of inaction is staggering. Thousands of
birds — some of which are endangered — die each year due
to collisions with glass windows. The technology to
prevent these deaths exists, and it's time we take the
necessary steps to protect our avian visitors. Together,
we can save countless lives and ensure that New York is
doing its part to preserve wildlife. Sign the petition now and
demand a safer future for our migratory
birds!
