Lights Out Cleveland and it’s band of citizen science volunteers tackle collecting, rehabilitating, and cataloging migratory birds that have collided with Cleveland’s buildings
The Lights Out program was formed in an effort to reduce the estimated half a billion bird fatalities from building collisions each year in North America. Cities across the U.S., including Chicago, New York, Indianapolis and Minneapolis, have seen promising participation in these programs and are excited to see more advocacy in the future.
Glowing city skylines are an alluring sight, especially if you’re a migrating bird. But an epidemic of collisions with buildings has led groups across Ohio, including Lights Out Cleveland, to form rescue squads and help raise public awareness about the problem.
