World Sparrow Day 2023: Know history, significance and theme of the day

New Delhi: Every year on March 20, there is a celebration known as World Sparrow Day, which seeks to educate people and raise awareness about the importance of sparrows and the significance of their conservation. International Sparrow Day is a substantial holiday that promotes the value of sparrows and their preservation. People can help to protect these small birds by enabling sparrow conservation and creating sparrow-friendly habitats.

The goal of World Sparrow Day is to raise public awareness about the sparrow’s decreasing population and the importance of conservation. The day provides an opportunity for people to collaborate in their cultures to safeguard and preserve sparrows.

This can be achieved by building and sustaining sparrow-friendly environments, using fewer pesticides, and increasing public awareness of the importance of sparrows to the environment.

History of the important day:

World Sparrow Day was created by the Nature Forever Organization of India and the Eco-Sys Action Foundation of France in collaboration. The first World Sparrow Day was celebrated on March 20, 2010, with the objective of increasing awareness of sparrow depopulation as well as the importance of sparrow preservation.

Significance of the day:

Numerous sparrows, which are small, common birds, live on the planet. They are essential to environmental health because they limit insects and pests as well as provide nourishment for other species. However, a variety of issues, such as loss of habitat, environmental damage, and pesticide use, have all made a significant contribution to a rapid decline in the world’s sparrow population over the past few years.

Theme of the day:

Every year, a different concept is chosen for World Sparrow Day to portray the existing issues and circumstances surrounding sparrow preservation. The theme for World Sparrow Day in 2023 is inspired by the previous year’s theme.

“I Love Sparrows,” this year’s theme, emphasizes the importance of both individuals and organizations in sparrow preservation.
