More and more people live in cities and urbanization is estimated to grow in the future. The functionality of the city is therefore important in terms of nature values. The diversity of urban nature is important for the environment but also for humans. The diverse nature of the city contributes to human health on a physical and psychological level. On a larger scale, biodiversity is a prerequisite for the functioning of the global economy. In this thesis I surveyed the question of whether people know about environmental problems in Lahti and Helsinki. I focused on bird-window collisions in urban areas and how this affects biodiversity. I aimed to determine whether there is a correlation between areas that are supposed to have a lot of bird strikes and awareness of the problem in these areas. The importance of urban nature to human life is obvious, but perhaps not very well known. I aimed to survey the amount of consciousness among citizens in Helsinki and Lahti. In this thesis, I also aim to bring together already existing research data and create a broader picture of the contribution of urban structures harmful to birds and biodiversity.
