Celebrated on March 20th, this initiative was launched in 2010 by the Nature Forever Society of India in collaboration with various organisations.

World Sparrow Day Significance

This day provides an important opportunity to reflect on the vulnerability of our ecosystems and the necessary steps to protect them for future generations.
