World Sparrow Day

World Sparrow Day, observed annually on March 20, is a day to raise awareness of the protection of sparrows. We are particularly excited about this holiday because we just can’t resist the cuteness of these little birds and we know at the end of this article, you will be as excited to join too.

History of World Sparrow Day

World Sparrow Day is an initiative started by the Nature Forever Society of India (founded by Mohammed Dilawar) along with the Eco-Sys Action Foundation of France and many other organizations around the world. Though the holiday carries the name Sparrow, it was mainly created for awareness of Sparrows but also includes the beauty and biodiversity of other common birds that may share the same space as us.

Mohammed Dilawar, a dedicated conservationist, started the campaign to provide special care for house Sparrows in Nashik. The idea to make the campaign official was born during an informal discussion at the office of the Nature Forever Society. Thereafter, the first World Sparrow Day was observed in 2010 all around the world.

It created a platform for bird conservationists to network and exchange ideas to improve conservation. It aims to provide a point of contact for people around the world to come together and create awareness of the necessity for the protection of common biodiversity or species of lower conservation.

Sparrows or house sparrows have been known to live in green patches and backyards chirping away in urban areas though, during the harsh summers, they require cool shades and water. They’ve always been quite common in residential areas but are currently on the verge of extinction due to noise pollution, lack of nesting sites in modern buildings, pesticide usage, and non-availability of food as reported by ornithologists.

The awareness created led to the house sparrow becoming the state bird of  Delhi in 2012.

As the years go by, more people are joining the campaign to conserve these birds as a way of giving back to nature. Some have gone as far as creating bird nests for sparrows and other common, birds in the community.

Making of the World Sparrow Day

Sparrows were once one of Britain’s most common birds, however, their population has declined in recent years.

Although house sparrows are non-migratory birds, the urban flock had traditionally moved to the countryside to feed on ripening grain fields.

The first World Sparrow Day was celebrated in 2010 in different parts of the world.

The Nature Forever Society instituted the first Sparrow Awards in March 2011 to encourage the efforts made towards the cause and to selflessly conserve the environment.

The idea to mark World Sparrow Day came up during a discussion at the N.F.C’s office where the idea was to earmark a day for the conservation of the house sparrow and other common birds.

World Sparrow Day is celebrated on March 20 every year.

The sparrows live in the backyards and green patches in urban areas. But in the last two decades, their population is on the decline in almost every city.

Together let's raise awareness and protect the sparrows, which are not so commonly seen now due to increasing buildings and pollution.

आपल्या सगळ्यांच्या परिचयाची.. कदाचित अतिपरिचयाची. आज चिमण्यांची संख्या कमी झालेली दिसते. खरं म्हणजे भारतात सगळीकडे सर्वात जास्त संख्येने सापडणारा, विणीचा हंगाम वर्षभर असू शकणारा, माणसाच्या जवळपास राहणारा आणि त्यामुळे नेहमी दिसणारा पक्षी अशी चिमणीची ओळख आहे. परंतु आता तिच्यासाठी अंगण नाही, झाडं नाहीत, वळचणी नाहीत आणि आपल्या घरांमध्ये तिच्या घरटय़ासाठी छोटीशी जागाही नाही. चीनमध्ये सांस्कृतिक क्रांतीच्या काळात चिमण्या मारण्याचे अभियान सुरू झाले होते, परंतु त्यामुळे पर्यावरणापुढे उभे राहू शकणारे धोके लक्षात आले. त्यानंतर अनेक वर्षांनी जगभरच, तज्ज्ञांच्या अभ्यासाअंती ‘चिमणी जगायला हवी’ याची जाणीव होऊन २०१० पासून २० मार्च हा दिवस ‘जागतिक चिमणी दिवस’ म्हणून साजरा केला जातो. #चिमणी #chimani #worldsparrowday #naturelovers #art #artforall #publicart #streetart #streetartindia #punestreetart #artistsoninstagram #pune #vidyapratishthan #baramati #travelart #travelartist #nileshartist (at India) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp-8GABM7JS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
