The National Zoological Park celebrated World Sparrow Day today with a series of events designed to raise awareness about the significance of sparrows and their role in the environment.

The day's activities began with an energetic zoo walk, where 127 School students marched from the main entrance to the fountain area, chanting slogans and participating in a sparrow count. This interactive experience emphasized the importance of these birds in our daily lives.

Students also attended an educational talk at the zoo’s amphitheatre, where they learned more about sparrows, their habitats, and the vital role they play in ecosystems. This session was designed to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation for sparrow conservation.

Trainees from the Telangana State Forest Academy took part in a specialized program that included a field visit and discussions with zoo officials. This provided them with practical insights and skills to enhance their conservation efforts.

100 sparrow nests were also distributed to students and visitors. This initiative allowed attendees to actively contribute to the preservation of sparrow habitats, further reinforcing the zoo’s commitment to public education and environmental stewardship.

The celebration of World Sparrow Day at the National Zoological Park concluded on a high note, leaving a lasting impression on the community and highlighting the zoo’s dedication to sparrow conservation and environmental awareness.
