Sparrow's Shelter

Sparrow's Shelter NGO is giving best from 2007 in Mumbai and nearby cities. The team encourages conservation by reaching out to schools and colleges to build awareness for the cause. It also works with parents who are interested to teach their child to love animals. You can find the shelters in many places like Ruia College in Matunga, Five Gardens, Shivaji Park, Rajbhavan, Kalina University Campus, and Ranibaug at Byculla. Sparrows, or Passer Domesticus, which graced our cities, have almost disappeared. With unabated concrete growth, pollution, degrowth in the green cover, these birds have been driven out by the ever growing cities. According to one survey, the number of these birds has dropped by over 50% in cities in the last few years. Birdwatchers claim the number to be higher at 90%. Conservation now is the emergent need of the hour. And leading this endeavour is the Sparrow’s Shelter NGO, founded by two young sparrow conservationists – Pramod Mane and Sudhir Sakpal. The NGO is open to anyone who would love to play a part in saving a sparrow. All one has to do is join the NGO at a nominal fee. In return the member would receive a bird house to install in his or her home or their society premises. The Sparrow’s Shelter Club has already installed more than 1,00,000 shelters in Mumbai and nearby cities.
