New Delhi: For years, the house sparrow has peacefully co-existed with us, nesting in our houses and gardens chirping sweetly at our windows. However, that little friendly neighbourhood bird is nowhere to be seen today. Their population has been decreasing in almost every city.
Here are some reasons why the population of the little brown birds are declining:
WWF-India has been involved in raising awareness about the declining population of house sparrows.
World Sparrow Day is celebrated on 20 March every year to raise awareness about the importance of house sparrow and other common bird species dwelling in urban areas.
It is an international initiative by the Nature Forever Society of India in collaboration with the Eco-Sys Action Foundation (France) and numerous other national and international organisations across the world.
