Millions of birds are currently undertaking their seasonal migrations, and conservationists are urging residents to help protect them by reducing nighttime lighting. Artificial lights can disorient migrating birds, leading them into dangerous collisions with buildings and other structures. The request comes as part of broader efforts to minimize human impact on wildlife during critical movement periods. Simple adjustments, such as turning off unnecessary lights, could make a meaningful difference in their survival.
