In a recent article, Alex Ngari emphasizes the urgency of creating bird-friendly urban environments to safeguard migratory bird populations. Highlighting the theme of the 2025 World Migratory Bird Day, “Creating Bird-Friendly Cities and Communities,” Ngari points out that rapid urbanization, especially in Africa, poses significant threats to bird habitats and biodiversity.
Ngari identifies several urban challenges impacting migratory birds, including habitat loss, collisions with glass structures, and light pollution. He advocates for practical solutions such as developing green spaces with native vegetation, implementing bird-friendly building designs, and reducing artificial lighting in urban areas. These measures aim to mitigate the adverse effects of urban development on bird populations and promote a harmonious coexistence between humans and avian species.
