The Botanic Garden in Pisa extends for ca. three hectares in the historical centre of the city and is an area with a wide biodiversity. Thanks to its favourable conditions, it hosts many species of birds throughout the year. In the five-year period from 2012 to 2016, more than 40 species were counted in the Botanic Garden and many cases were reported where birds died striking against the windows of the greenhouses. In order to prevent such occurrences, we herein propose some technical solutions based on the use of adhesive films to be stuck on the windows, without affecting the landscape of the Botanic Garden.
L’Orto Botanico di Pisa si estende per circa 3 ettari nel centro storico della città e rappresenta un’area ad elevata biodiversità. Gli uccelli vi trovano condizioni favorevoli durante l’intero ciclo annuale. Nel quinquennio 2012-2016 vi sono state censite oltre 40 specie e si sono registrati numerosi casi di collisioni mortali contro le vetrate delle serre. Al fine di prevenire gli impatti, vengono proposte alcune soluzioni tecniche compatibili con il contesto dell'Orto Botanico che prevedono l’impiego di pellicole adesive da applicare ai vetri.

Abstract
The Botanic Garden in Pisa extends for ca. three hectares in the historical centre of the city and is an area with a wide biodiversity. Thanks to its favourable conditions, it hosts many species of birds throughout the year. In the five-year period from 2012 to 2016, more than 40 species were counted in the Botanic Garden and many cases were reported where birds died striking against the windows of the greenhouses. In order to prevent such occurrences, we herein propose some technical solutions based on the use of adhesive films to be stuck on the windows, without affecting the landscape of the Botanic Garden.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
