If only birds were ‘puppies’: Lights Out Baltimore tracks 3,000 window collisions since 2018

In my work uncovering the toll of window collisions on Baltimore’s bird population, I delved into data collected by Lights Out Baltimore, a volunteer-driven organization tracking over 3,000 incidents since 2018.

My role involved analyzing trends made available from iNaturalist, interviewing stakeholders, and connecting findings to broader environmental challenges.

Through this story, I sought to shine a light on the impact of urban design on wildlife and elevate the voices of those working tirelessly to protect it.
