Is Your City Bird Friendly?
Is your city bird-friendly? North America’s birds are in trouble. A major study from 2019 reported that the continent has lost three billion birds in the last 50 years. That accounts for a quarter of all birds.
Many of these birds are our neighbours—common species that live in our towns and cities. Coordinated, science-backed action is needed to reverse this tragic trend.
About the Campaign
That’s why Nature Canada is working with local partners to create Bird-Friendly Cities across Canada. We team up with nature groups, municipal officials, and other community stakeholders to ensure our urban environments are safe havens for birds rather than a source of threats.
From predation by domestic cats, to window and car collisions, cities and towns present many hazards to birds.
Bird-friendly cities are communities where:
- Key threats to birds are effectively mitigated;
- Nature is restored so native bird populations can thrive;
- Residents are actively engaged in admiring and monitoring local bird populations;
- Organizations are creating events to protect birds;
- Progressive municipal policies are created to protect urban bird populations; and
- A Bird Team has been created to oversee and lead these initiatives.
