World Sparrow Day 2024: History
World Sparrow Day is an initiative of the Nature Forever Society of India, along with other organizations. The day is celebrated on 20 March, annually.
World Sparrow Day is dedicated to raising awareness about the necessity of protecting birds and their habitat. It also serves as a platform for bird conservationists to network and exchange ideas.
Sparrows are small, feathered birds that live in green patches and backyards. They are quite common in residential areas, but their population is declining rapidly due to noise pollution, lack of nesting sites in modern buildings, pesticide usage, and a lack of food. Due to this, the sparrow is now considered to be a state bird of Delhi.
