Bird collisions
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Dan, ? Thanks for posting this. ? I was invited to speak to the Metro Vancouver Regional Planning Committee ¨C Environment sub-Committee last month as some of the local governments had expressed an interest in hearing about how they can better design buildings to mitigate bird strikes. ? My talk was titled ¡®Biodiversity ¨C Threats Facing Birds¡¯ where I spoke about the state of the world¡¯s birds and the things that can be done immediately to help birds and the environment. This included addressing window strikes at both residential and commercial buildings, a lights out Vancouver strategy during migration, a No Roam Bylaw & Enforcement for free-roaming cats (which 92 Municipalities in Canada have but we don¡¯t here in Vancouver!), the huge potential to support birds and other wildlife with bird friendly gardens by replacing lawns with native plants, and I also ask the members of the committee to drink Bird Friendly Shade Grown Coffee in their offices and homes. ? I have attached a PDF copy of the deck I used for anyone interested. ? Happy Christmas Vanbirders! ? Derek

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThanks Dan, ? On the same topic of threats facing birds, more damning evidence of the effect of free roaming cats on birds and other wildlife ¨C how much more proof do we need to ban ALL free-roaming cats in Canada?!! ? ? Derek J. Matthews? T: (604) 218-1191 E: Derek@... ? ? -----Original Message----- ? Derek¡. thanks for sharing those slides. Nice! ? My experience is that the average member of the public is indifferent about these issues. They are either not aware or just don't care. It¡¯s a long slog to change those attitudes, but I think VARC is making an impact with its outreach programs and presentations like this. Well done! ?
