SUMMARY:How to Save a Billion Birds: Stop Window Collisions
DESCRIPTION:Learn how simple adjustments to your windows can save our feathered friends in this eye-opening event on preventing bird collisions.\n\n\nHow to Save a Billion Birds: Stop Window Collisionswith Dr. Dustin Partridge\, Director of Conservation and Science\, NYC Bird Alliance \nEvery year\, up to 1 billion birds die in the United States after colliding with windows and glass buildings—making bird-building collisions one of the largest human-caused sources of bird mortality.  \nJoin Dr. Dustin Partridge\, a pioneering leader in urban conservation research and the Director of Conservation and Science at NYC Bird Alliance\, as he explores how science\, policy\, and community action can come together to prevent these tragic and unnecessary losses. Dr. Partridge’s groundbreaking research has reshaped the national conversation on the ecological value of cities and inspired innovative approaches that protect both wildlife and people. His leadership has been central to major policy changes in New York City\, demonstrating that urban environments can become safer and more sustainable for birds. \nIn this presentation\, you’ll learn about the twin threats of light and glass\, why collisions occur\, and how communities\, architects\, and individuals can work to protect migratory birds. From simple actions at home to large-scale urban design changes\, discover how you can be part of the movement to save hundreds of millions of birds each year. \nThis talk will not only highlight the science behind bird safety but also showcase inspiring solutions that prove cities can be powerful allies in conservation. \n \nAbout Our Presenter: \nDr. Dustin Partridge is the Director of Conservation and Science at NYC Bird Alliance and a pioneering scientist in urban conservation research in North America. His work\, focused on wildlife conservation in New York City\, has driven cities to reconsider the ecological value of the built environment. His published research has reshaped the national conversation on the role of cities in conservation and led to significant policy changes in New York City. A sought-after speaker in media and public forums\, Dr. Partridge is a scientist whose approach to conservation is based in using science to drive solutions that benefit both wildlife and people. \n \nLearn More: .https://nycbirdalliance.org/?gad_campaignid=21415823236https://www.pbs.org/video/building-for-birds-wild-hope-q2jpps/ \n\n\nAbout Virtually There: \nVirtually There\, our popular online speaker series connects you to the world of birds\, wildlife\, and conservation – right from home. \nWe bring together renowned scientists\, dedicated biologists\, acclaimed authors\, and passionate conservationists who are eager to share their groundbreaking work and fascinating stories.
