Patricia Seaton Homonylo, a Canadian photographer, was declared Bird Photographer of the Year for her image "When Worlds Collide". The image, taken in Toronto, highlights the issue of bird collisions with windows, with over 4,000 birds dying in North America alone due to this problem. Homonylo's image was chosen from over 23,000 entries from around the globe. The Bird Photographer of the Year award is part of Rolex's Perpetual Planet Initiative, which aims to raise awareness and education around key sustainability issues.

    1. We create this impactful display to honor the lives lost and increase public awareness.
    2. I hope people are shocked by what they see and are moved to act by using bird-safe glass and supporting organizations like FLAP.
    3. I am a conservation photojournalist and have been working with the Fatal Light Awareness Program, where we save window-collision survivors in Toronto.
    4. Each year more than one billion birds die in North America alone due to collisions with windows.
    5. Sadly, most of the birds we find are already dead. They are collected and at the end of the year we create this impactful display to honour the lives lost and increase public awareness.

    1. Raising awareness of what is out there in the tree tops is half the battle for getting people to care about nature. Humans are visual creatures, and photography is incredibly powerful to convey a message.
