Patna: Birds are not just a part of nature’s beauty—they are vital engineers of our ecosystems. From controlling pests and dispersing seeds to maintaining ecological balance, birds play an irreplaceable role in sustaining life on Earth.

On National Bird Day (January 5), GreenEvon Foundation welcome our communities to reflect, act, and commit to protecting our winged companions—symbols of freedom, harmony, and environmental health.

Birds in Indian Culture & Wisdom

India’s ancient traditions recognized birds as sacred protectors of nature:

Garuda, the divine mount of Lord Vishnu – symbol of strength and vigilance

Hamsa (Swan), associated with Goddess Saraswati – wisdom and discernment

Peacock, the National Bird of India – beauty, courage, and pride

These cultural symbols promoted compassion and non-violence toward birds—long before modern conservation began.

Why Birds Matter because Natural Pest Control: Birds regulate insect populations and protect crops

Forest Regeneration: Seed dispersal helps grow new forests

Environmental Cleaners: Vultures prevent the spread of deadly diseases

Climate Indicators: Bird population health reflects ecosystem stability

The Growing Threat, According to recent studies, nearly 50% of bird species in India are declining due to:

Urbanization and habitat loss

Excessive pesticide use

Plastic pollution and toxic waste

Mobile tower radiation and illegal kite strings

Climate change affecting migratory patterns

Our Collective Responsibility is Bird conservation is not just the duty of governments—it begins at home.
