Nestbox Distribution
Urban spaces are rapidly changing, and natural nesting spots for sparrows are disappearing. The Adopt a Nestbox initiative encourages individuals, schools, housing societies, and organizations to install and maintain sparrow-friendly nestboxes to provide safe breeding spaces.
Why It Matters
Sparrows, especially the House Sparrow, depend on small cavities in buildings to nest. Modern construction often eliminates these spaces, leading to population decline. By adopting a nestbox, you:
-
Create safe nesting opportunities
-
Support breeding and population recovery
-
Contribute to urban biodiversity
-
Engage your community in conservation
Even one nestbox can make a meaningful difference.
How It Works
Participants can adopt one or more nestboxes and install them in suitable locations such as balconies, gardens, school campuses, or society premises. Guidance on placement, maintenance, and monitoring is provided to ensure success.
Adopt today and give sparrows a place to call home.
