March 20, New Delhi — World Sparrow Day is observed every year to highlight the alarming decline of house sparrows and other common birds. This day encourages awareness and action towards conserving these birds, which play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of ecosystems.
Observed annually on March 20, World Sparrow Day aims to raise awareness about the declining sparrow population. The day was started in 2010 by Nature Forever Society, a bird conservation organization, and the movement has since spread to over 50 countries. Its goal is to protect sparrows and halt their decline.
In 2012, Delhi declared the house sparrow as its state bird, symbolizing a broader commitment to conservation efforts.
