Anthropogenic hazards are largely responsible for the net loss of nearly 3 billion birds from North America between 1970 and 2018. Bird-window collisions is estimated to indiscriminately kill 0.5 to 1 billion birds annually in the US. Unfortunately, this avoidable human-caused hazard receives little public attention and minimal research. Join me as we delve into this, and other anthropogenic bird hazards. Learn some solutions that you can do to ensure that birds can prosper, be enjoyed by future generations, and continue to provide key ecosystem services that we depend on.
