Acupuncture
The biggest problem is the reflective surfaces of glass buildings. Currently, bird mortality is quite significant due to glass surfaces. According to qualified estimates, 900 million birds die this way every year in the United States. In the Czech Republic, according to the Czech Ornithological Society, it is roughly about one million.
Just like acupuncture, which uses needles inserted into the skin at precisely designated points to help with the problems of the entire human body, our project, using perches inserted into facades at precisely designated points, helps with the problems of the entire city. It reduces unnecessary bird mortality, and on the contrary, increases their natality. It brings life back to the cities. It breaks up the facades of glass hells. And it maintains a connection with nature for people, both physically and through live streaming video directly from the nests. Win-win.
