WORLD SPRING DAY 2022: House sparrows live interestingly in urban or rural settings, as they are strongly associated with human habitation. World Sparrow Day is celebrated on March 20 every year. This day is celebrated to raise awareness and protect the sparrows. Growing up, we all saw sparrows outside our homes, but the increased noise pollution means the bird is on the brink of extinction. National Forever Society India, in partnership with Eco-Sys Action Foundation, started World Sparrow Day as an international initiative. Many other national and international organizations around the world are also spreading awareness about house sparrows and other birds on the brink of extinction.
