World Sparrow Day

World Sparrow Day is celebrated annually on March 20th to raise awareness about the decline of sparrows worldwide and to promote efforts to conserve these small birds. The day was first observed in 2010, and since then, it has been marked by various events, workshops, and campaigns to spread the message of sparrow conservation.

Sparrows are an essential part of the ecosystem, and their decline can have significant impacts on the environment. The loss of their habitat, pollution, and the use of pesticides are some of the major factors responsible for the decrease in their population. World Sparrow Day aims to highlight these issues and promote measures to protect and preserve the bird species.

The day is celebrated in many countries, and several organizations and individuals participate in activities such as bird-watching, planting trees, and creating artificial nests for sparrows. The goal is to encourage people to take action and raise awareness about the importance of conserving these small but vital birds.
