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.<\/p>\n
However, there is hope: after thousands of bird deaths, Chicago’s McCormick Place finally implemented bird-friendly glass treatments \u2013 reducing bird fatalities by 95%.<\/p>\n
It’s time for New York City to adopt similar policies to protect birds from its skyscrapers.<\/p>\n
Sign this petition to urge the New York City Council to implement a bird-friendly design ordinance for all buildings in migration corridors.<\/p>\n
The truth is, New York City is a critical stop for migratory birds, and the cost of inaction is staggering. Thousands of birds \u2013 some of which are endangered \u2013 die each year due to collisions with glass windows.<\/p>\n
Implementing bird-friendly glass treatments is an effective, cost-efficient way to drastically reduce bird fatalities.<\/p>\n
By requiring new buildings and renovations to incorporate bird-friendly glass, we can make the city safer for birds and serve as a model for others to follow.<\/p>\n
The technology to prevent these deaths exists, and it’s time we take the necessary steps to protect our avian visitors.<\/p>\n
Together, we can save countless lives and ensure that New York is doing its part to preserve wildlife.<\/p>\n
Sign the petition now and demand a safer future for our migratory birds!<\/p>\n
