Every year, human negligence claims the lives of approximately 250,000 innocent birds. These birds, navigating the skies during their seasonal migration, clash with buildings, often because we forget to turn off the lights. 

Several studies have shown that deaths caused by window collisions rank second only to feline predation as the leading direct mortality cause. This human-induced threat to bird populations can significantly disrupt ecosystems and harm biodiversity. According to a report by Health Forests, Healthy Birds Canada, almost one billion birds die annually in North America due to collisions with buildings. 

This doesn't have to be our reality. We have the power to reduce this number considerably with a simple habit: turning off our lights during bird migration seasons. Lowering light pollution not only aids birds, but also contributes to human energy conservation.

Let us pledge to be more considerate and protect our birds. We are calling to promote lights-out initiatives, especially during bird migration periods. We urge local businesses, government buildings, and households alike to participate in saving lives, with just one flick of a switch.

Let's turn off our lights and save birds. Please, sign this petition.
