Time's green hero Dilawar Mohammed fights for the sparrow

Mumbai, Oct 7 (IANS) Dilawar Mohammed, one of the winners of Time magazine’s Heroes of the Environment-2008, is a crusader for the almost ignored bird - the common sparrow. He is almost single-handedly struggling to raise awareness about conserving the common sparrow, which he feels is facing a severe threat from humans.

Based in the heart of India’s wine country, Nashik, north-west Maharashtra, Dilawar, 28, tends to over 150 sparrows daily, giving them food and water to enable them survive, since he says the bird’s natural food resources are being eaten away by massive urbanization.

“The common sparrow is under attack from many quarters. Hundreds of trees and bushes are being cleared and replaced with monstrous buildings, open spaces are being concretized, hundreds of mobile phone communication towers are being erected in cities, towns and villages. All this has hugely affected the tiny sparrow,” Dilawar explained.
