IDEA Birdhouses have Been Installed in Kyrgyzstan

Birdhouses made based on the design of IDEA contest's winner, were set up in city parks of the capital and major cities of Kyrgyzstan.

The competition for the best design of the birdhouses, announced by IDEA in May 2012, was won by 26-year-old Tatiana Biryugina, a Kyrgyz designer. Setting birdhouses, which plays a significant role in the restoration of the environmental balance of cities, coincided with the International Migratory Bird Day, celebrated annually on May 12-13.

Bishkek has problems with the ecological system, as the number of Afghan starlings that peck eggs of local birds, such as sparrows and swallows, is increasing, which reduces the number of urban birds.The negative impact of humans on the environment causes serious ecosystem degradation and destruction of plants and animals. This rapid decline in biodiversity also includes the loss of bird species. The birdhouses made by the design of the IDEA contest winner will also be installed in parks and residential areas of Baku, Vilnius, Moscow and London.
