Save Sparrow and Squirrel Project
Save sparrows before they start living just in our stories
Natural Shades is deeply involved in saving house sparrows in urban areas - the team is creating natural habitat by planting trees, encouraging gardening, making bird nests & feeders, water bowls and arranging awareness programs. In year 2024 the team has target to make and distribute 2000 bird nests before breeding season which starts from February. Till now we were managing the raw materials required to make nests & feeders by self-contribution of funds but with the increase in target, it will be difficult to continue without your help. The little sparrow needs little place to live, little food to eat, little water to drink, small nest to breed and some of your love for survival.
