PCMC Police Stations Mark World Sparrow Day with Conservation Drive, Install Nest Boxes and Water Pots
Pimpri-Chinchwad: Various police stations in the PCMC area marked World Sparrow Day by launching an initiative to raise awareness about sparrow conservation. In collaboration with Roseland Residency and the Nature Forever Society (NFS), the police took proactive steps to provide a safe habitat for the dwindling sparrow population.
As part of the initiative, the police stations installed nest boxes, feeders, and earthen water pots on their premises, ensuring a steady supply of food, water, and shelter for sparrows. The effort underscores their commitment to wildlife conservation and environmental responsibility.
Senior police officers, including ACP Sachin Hire, ACP Bhaskar Dere, PSI Khade, PI Misal, and PI Mahesh Salvi, extended their full support to the initiative. The event generated enthusiasm among the police staff, as it was the first-of-its-kind conservation effort within the department.
Chandan Chaurasia, Pune Coordinator for NFS, played a key role in the execution of the project. He was supported by NFS volunteers Surendra Jain, Shrinivas Gogegave, and Vijay Chaube, who assisted in the installation of the conservation setups.
This initiative sets a positive example for other institutions to follow, emphasizing the importance of protecting urban bird species and fostering a greater understanding of their ecological significance.
