Celebrate with Sparrows

World Sparrow Day, observed on March 20, was launched in 2010 by the Nature Forever Society of India and the Eco-Sys Action Foundation. The day aims to raise awareness about the threats faced by house sparrows and other urban birds. Events such as art competitions, awareness campaigns, and sparrow processions are organized globally. The initiative provides a platform for conservationists to connect, collaborate, and share ideas, promoting the protection of common biodiversity.
