Save Goraiya is an environmental conservation initiative of People of Hope aimed at protecting the declining population of house sparrows (Goraiya) and restoring their natural habitats.
Objectives: To increase public awareness, provide artificial nest boxes, arrange drinking-water and feeding points, promote plantation, reduce pesticide use, and encourage communities to protect birds.
Benefits: The initiative supports biodiversity, ecological balance, natural pest control, environmental education, and community participation. It also encourages children and youth to develop compassion towards nature. The project is non-profit and focuses on public welfare rather than financial returns.
Government Policy: The House Sparrow is protected under India's Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 (Schedule II). Delhi has also declared it the State Bird. World Sparrow Day is observed on 20 March to promote awareness and conservation.
Expected Outcomes: People of Hope aims to build bird-friendly villages, schools and urban communities through awareness campaigns, volunteer participation and cooperation with government departments, educational institutions and environmental organizations.
Our Mission: Save Goraiya, Save Nature, Save Our Future!
