World Sparrow Day is celebrated annually on March 20. This day aims to raise awareness about the declining population of sparrows, particularly the common house sparrow, which is increasingly hard to find due to rising noise pollution.
The initiative was started by the Nature Forever Society of India in collaboration with the Eco-Sys Action Foundation of France. On this World Sparrow Day, let’s work together to spread awareness and create safe spaces for these beloved birds.
World Sparrow Day 2025 Theme
Each year, the celebration of the significant day revolves around a specific theme to raise awareness and efforts to take in the hope of preserving these species. The theme for World Sparrow Day 2025 is “A Tribute to Nature’s Tiny Messengers.” This theme aims to reconnect people with these beloved birds and inspire conservation activities.
Significance of World Sparrow Day
World Sparrow Day focuses on the urgent need for sparrow conservation and urban biodiversity. It is a day dedicated to protecting and saving the house sparrow, a species that is now on the verge of extinction. This day also brings together people who share a love for sparrows and appreciate their beauty.
House sparrows were once a common sight, easily spotted in the backyards of our homes. However, in recent years, it has become increasingly difficult to find these birds in urban areas due to the expansion of cities and a growing disconnection from nature. World Sparrow Day encourages individuals, communities, and organisations to take action by creating bird-friendly environments.
History of World Sparrow Day
World Sparrow Day was first observed in 2010. The Nature Forever Society of India and the Eco-Sys Action Foundation of France came up with the idea for It. The Nature Forever Society has built a website to raise awareness about It. This website has numerous images of birds and information about different species of sparrows from around the world.
