"If people keep a nest in their mud or wood houses, maybe the sparrows would come and be revived in numbers," activist A. Brahmananda Acharya told ANI.
"More than 90 per cent sparrows of the world are on the verge of extinction. If we do not look after this domestic bird, a time will come when we would be reading about them in books only," he said.
Acharya said construction of concrete houses instead of straw and mud houses, climatic changes and radiation from the mobile towers are the main causes behind extinction of the bird.
Acharya has been awarded for spreading awareness about the protection of this endangered species. (ANI)
