FLAP is a charitable not-for-profit, founded in 1993 to address the issue of bird collisions with human-built structures. Since its inception, FLAP volunteers have recovered over 59,000 birds from 166 species, all victims of collisions with a handful of buildings in the Greater Toronto Area. It is unsettling to add that 64 of these species are in serious population decline. Our dedication has placed bird collisions with buildings on the wildlife conservation map, and in doing so, has proven this issue to be the leading cause of bird death across North America. As a world-first organization, FLAP has mobilized the NGO, business, educational and government sectors to find progressive ways to protect birds from the hazards of our built environment. FLAP has created models for replicability of both our awareness and rescue initiatives, like those now running strong in New York, Chicago, Montreal and Minneapolis.
