Bird enthusiasts in Swat have launched a grassroots campaign to protect local bird species and boost their declining populations, particularly focusing on sparrows.
Initiated by local youth, the campaign has garnered strong support from the public, who are increasingly concerned about the noticeable drop in bird numbers across the Swat Valley. Participants attribute the decline to climate change, urban expansion, and habitat loss caused by overpopulation.
The campaign seeks to raise environmental awareness, promote conservation, and involve the community in efforts to preserve the region’s biodiversity. Organisers hope the initiative will encourage long-term action to safeguard Swat’s rich avian life and maintain ecological balance.
