Objectives:

Global Bird Rescue uses the Global Bird Collision Mapper (GBCM) to document bird-building collisions worldwide. Each year, during the first week in October, teams and individuals take to the streets to search for birds that have collided with buildings in their community, to social media to raise awareness about this conservation issue, and to make their own windows bird-safe.

This event is world-wide and not address specific. Anyone can participate anywhere!

Charla para dar a conocer el estado y las problematicas actuales de las aves migratorias y realizaremos una senda por el parque de Pradolongo para observar aves y aprender a reconocer aquellas que nos visitan cada primavera en su migración.

Join Audubon for a fascinating conversation about migratory birds, the hazards they face along the way, and the actions we are taking to help ensure safe passage along their journeys. Hosted by our Bird-Friendly Communities team, the presentation and panel discussion will explore bird migration, featuring innovative visualizations developed by Audubon's Migratory Bird Initiative, and will highlight hemispheric connections through Audubon Americas.

BookWidgets will create interactive, engaging activities which educators, students, and classrooms around the world can complete to learn more about the effects of light pollution on birds and the environment as a whole.
