Santosh has made a point to post nature photographs as part of his weekly dose of photography mainly create awareness among people, mostly youngsters and students. He uses his Nikon 850 camera. Most times, his birds pics are appreciated by one and all and generate curiosity about bird lovers. His Green India Challenge (GIC) is hugely popular across all sections of people who took to planting saplings on their special days.
A few bird watchers whom Excel India contacted lauded the young MP for his lobby. “This week’s sparrow(or a kind of sparrow) is not officially listed as endangered species. But, still Hyderabad city which is vast expanding as concrete jungle is definitely no place for birds. Slowly, we are missing these little cute sparrows (pichukalu in Telugu),” said Haribabu J, a zoology scholar from Osmania University.
This week’s sparrows are migratory birds, populating tropical countries, thriving on woodlands, orchids and open countrysides. Their main foods is small insects, ants, on trees and ground. As of now, officially they are not in the danger zone of extinction, but their population like most other birds is decreasing due to various reasons. Some European countries have begun conservation measures for them.
We need to leave more green zones in the city of Hyderabad too for birds as they call for help. Kids can make photography of nature a habit so that their parents can take part in the conservation measures.
