Take Action: Advocate<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Birds don’t have a voice, so together, let’s give them ours. The Birds Connect Seattle community has the power to make sure our local law and policy makers are hearing our concerns related to environmental justice, habitat protection, and land allocation. Birds Connect Seattle frequently acts, and asks our community to take action by contacting local policymakers, signing petitions, and attending a community meetings.

The wetlands at Magnuson Park are a masterpiece of urban habitat restoration.<\/p>\n

The sensitive habitat\u2014<\/span>which cost Seattleites more than $3 million to build\u2014<\/span>is now threatened by a plan <\/a>to develop a noisy, 80,000 square-foot pickleball court facility with night-time lighting directly adjacent to the wetlands.<\/p>\n

Window collisions kill tens of thousands of birds each year in Seattle.\u00a0We can prevent these deaths.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Seattle is behind the curve in addressing bird-window collisions.\u00a0Dozens of jurisdictions<\/span><\/a>\u00a0have already adopted bird-safe building standards, including major West Coast cities like Portland, Vancouver, B.C., and San Francisco. Even New York City has\u00a0bird-safe building regulations in place.<\/p>\n

Help us call City leaders to establish bird-safe building standards for Seattle.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Artificial light at night is known to attract night-flying migratory birds into urban areas where they can become disoriented, exhausted, and vulnerable to window collisions, cat predation, and other urban hazards.<\/p>\n

Reducing artificial light is something we can all do to help protect wildlife. Take the Lights Out Pledge<\/span><\/a> to receive guidelines and resources to get started!<\/p>\n

Advocacy drives change. It raises awareness, turns passion into action, and ensures that the voices of those affected by environmental challenges are heard. Without it, harm\u2014intentional or not\u2014can go unchecked, leading to habitat destruction, species loss, and a decline in biodiversity, which is essential to both human well-being and the health of our planet.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
