With rapid urbanization and diminishing green spaces, sparrow populations have been declining significantly. To counter this, residents of Roseland Residency organized a campaign to create awareness and encourage people to take action for sparrow conservation.
Former corporators Nana Kate and Shatrughan Kate and Nirmala Kute, Society Representative Chandan Chaurasia, Vinod Patil, and Sandeep Thenge (President), Vikram Shinde (Vice President), Surendra Jain, Dhaval Prajapati, and singer Deepal Dave, were present at the event.
Speaking at the event, sparrow conservationist Chandan Chaurasia explained,
“The artificial nests we are distributing are designed specifically for sparrows, keeping their natural habitat and needs in mind. These nests help them feel secure and encourage nesting, which will contribute to increasing their population.”
Sandeep Thenge emphasized the importance of community participation, stating,
“If we build nests for sparrow chicks today, we are securing their future. As cities expand, sparrows are disappearing, but we can reverse this trend by providing them with safe spaces to live and food to sustain them. Saving the sparrows means saving our environment.”
Former corporators Nana Kate and Shatrughan Kate also shared their views on the importance of conservation efforts.
The campaign successfully reached 30 residential societies, including:
The success of the initiative was made possible by the dedicated efforts of volunteers, including:
The event was smoothly conducted by Shraddha Deshmukh, Vaishali Deshpande and Vikram Shinde, with a formal vote of thanks given by Sandeep Thenge.
This initiative serves as a reminder that even small efforts can contribute to restoring ecological balance. By providing sparrows with safe homes and food, residents of Pimple Saudagar are setting an example for urban conservation efforts.
