‘Bring Back Sparrow’ campaign boosts bird population in Hyderabad

Rapid urbanisation had destroyed the nesting places for sparrows, which eventually dwindled the population of little birds across Hyderabad and suburbs.

Decline in insects and food sources further impacted the sparrow’s survival, while increasing pollution levels and changes in lifestyle also contributed their bit.

However, the ‘Bring Back Sparrow’ campaign launched by the Animal Warriors Conservation



Society has been giving positive results. The AWCS, which launched the programme in 2016, had installed over 1,600 nests in Ameenpur, Gachibowli, Dilsukh Nagar and Alwal.

Involving the residential communities, corporates, educational institutions and other organisations, they have installed the nesting boxes and also distributed over 1,000 nest boxes every year during the last 10 years apart from monitoring the previously installed ones.
