American National Celebrates Earth Day by Committing to Protect Migratory Birds
April 29 2019 - 11:25AM
American National recently celebrated Earth Day by participating in
the Houston Audubon Society’s “Lights Out” campaign to protect
migratory birds.
After an unfortunate incident that took place in
May 2017, when a group of migratory birds disoriented by a late
spring storm and bright city lights flew into the American National
building, American National pledged to take action to ensure this
misfortune would not occur again. The company has since
worked with the Houston Audubon Society to identify actions to help
the building become less attractive to migrating flocks.
With Earth Day approaching, American National is
fulfilling its promise to the community by participating in the
annual “Lights Out” movement from April 19 until May 7 by turning
off the lights within the building overnight. The company also
previously hosted a “Lights Out” workshop, organized by the Houston
Audubon and other community leaders. The presentation introduced
Upper Texas Coast migration and left local business leaders with a
deeper understanding of bird collisions, as well as detailed
actions that can prevent these types of deaths. Since that meeting,
an alert system to track incoming storms and the activities that
might pose a threat to migrating birds has been put in place by
Houston Audubon.
“American National has a strong history of doing
what’s right,” said company President and CEO Jim Pozzi. “In this
instance, it was clear that this partnership was the right action
to take, and we are happy to do it.”
