High-rise buildings in the Forest
City could become more bird-friendly in the future.
A report presented to a London
City Council committee on Tuesday evening pledges to make London’s high-rises
both safer for birds and more energy efficient.
“What we are seeing from the data
regarding bird-related deaths, many of them are getting confused in flight when
faced with tall high-rise-type buildings,” said member of the Upper Thames
River Conservation Authority board, Sandy Levin.
“Birds are often attracted to
lights or believe a tree’s reflection in a glass window is the real thing,” he
said.
The report looks to borrow from
similar policies in cities such as Toronto, Markham, and Calgary.
