The purpose of the International Center for Aviation and Wildlife Risk Mitigation is to improve air safety by expanding research, accuracy, and the availability of data related to bird strikes/wildlife strikes. Since the time of the Wright brothers,bird strikes have been a problem. The wildlife strike problem and potential solutions for wildlife mitigation at airports is of international concern. In recent years the bird strike problem has increased due to increases in passenger traffic,the introduction of quieter engines on airplanes,and growing wildlife populations. The number of wildlife strikes reported had continued to increase over time. We hope this website will be a tool people can use to better learn about and share information about the bird strike problem.
