History
Mohammed
Dilawar, an Indian conservationist started the NFS, is famed for his
remarkable work to help the house sparrow in Nashik. Dilawar was named as one
of the 'Heroes of the Environment' for 2008 by Time for his efforts.
The idea of World Sparrow Day was initiated during an informal discussion
at the NFS's office. The idea was to reserve a day for the house sparrows
and to convey the public about the
necessity of conservation of house sparrow and other common birds.
In 2010,
the first World Sparrow Day was celebrated in different parts of the world. On
this day different various kinds of activities and events like art
competitions, awareness campaigns, and sparrow processions as well as
interactions with media are carried out.
