The mayor of the Baruta municipality issued a decree ordering paddle tennis clubs to take precautions to avoid birds colliding with the glass panels that cover these facilities.
In this sense, Mayor Darwin González, through a video published on social networks, explained that the instrument orders the placement of mechanisms that prevent physical damage or death of birds that pass through the area.
The decree urges the owners and managers of the paddle clubs to take immediate measures, as well as corrective measures in their facilities, understood as placing anti-collision stickers, decals, circular stickers and others that are recommended by the Municipal Center for Protection and Animal Control (Ceprocan) and entities specialized in ornithology.

In the recitals of the decree it is indicated that it has been observed with concern that there are buildings within the Baruta municipality that, because they are designed for the practice of certain sports activities, contain structures made up of glass panels that can prevent the different species of birds from perceiving obstacles and that also produce light pollution, causing disorientation in birds and resulting in them colliding with these buildings.
In what has been read, no sanctions are mentioned for non-compliance.
On December 7, the Attorney General, Tarek William Saab, reported that the Public Ministry began investigations to determine possible sanctions for environmental damage caused by the recent paddle tennis courts inaugurated in Caracas.
The measure of the Public Ministry is due to the event spread on social networks about the death of a macaw when it collided with the glass of a paddle tennis court in Los Samanes.
