New York City is critically endangering migratory birds, with a staggering number perishing each year due to collisions with glass skyscrapers. This issue has seen successful interventions elsewhere; specifically, the installation of bird-safe glass at Chicago’s McCormick Place decreased bird fatalities by an impressive 95%. Advocates are calling for similar measures in NYC, emphasizing the necessity of bird-friendly building designs to safeguard avian populations. As a prime stopover location during migration, it is essential for New York to adopt these practices and protect wildlife effectively. A petition has been launched urging the City Council to take action on this pressing issue.
