Nurturing a Greener Future: An Appeal to Abuites to Support Tree Planting
It’s easy to lose sight of the deep connection we have with the natural world in the rush and bustle of our everyday lives. It is our joint obligation as dwellers of this lovely planet to promote a peaceful interaction between man and the environment. One easy yet effective approach to helping this cause is to plant trees on a regular and serious basis.
The act of planting trees extends well beyond just putting a seedling in the ground. It represents a dedication to the well-being of our environment and the maintenance of the delicate balance that keeps life on Earth going. Let us try to be guardians of our surroundings in the heart of Abuites, actively engaging in the growth of a greener, more ecological future.
My heartfelt request is to every member of our community: let us work together to make a concrete difference in the world we live in. Planting trees is an asset to the health and longevity of our environment, not merely a nice act. This small step can make a big difference in reducing climate change, protecting biodiversity, and ensuring a better future for generations to come. in a community in which every Abuite, young and old, takes delight in caring for the soil that supports them. Consider a landscape studded with healthy trees that provide shade, Keep in mind temperature, soil type, and water availability when choosing native plants for our location.to include tree planting into our daily routines in order to begin on this transforming path. Make it a month, if not weekly, ritual to sow the seeds of positive change. Take into account temperature, soil type, and water availability when choosing native plants that are suitable for our location. By doing so, we not only improve these trees’ chances of survival, but we also contribute to the general spirit of our local environment.
Finally, the call to action is clear: as proud Abuites, let us be in the vanguard of positive change. Planting trees is more than simply an eco-friendly project; it demonstrates our devotion to a better, more green future. Our joint efforts can create a lasting legacy of greenery for future generations.
I'm posting an appeal on his behalf. Appreciate it.

Get close to nature and experience Spring in the Abode of the Gods by driving, hiking, or trekking. I would recommend Charles the guide a resourceful chap. Those artists who are looking for inspiration to paint the beauty of nature should head up the hill before summer sets in.

World Sparrow Day Tomorrow 20 March 2018.
World Sparrow Day in Mount Abu: A Success Story of Conservation
In the serene hills of Mount Abu, the community has taken remarkable steps to ensure the survival and growth of the house sparrow. Abuites, the locals of Mount Abu, make extraordinary efforts to promote the population of these charming little birds. Daily, they scatter bajra and other bird seeds in spots accessible to the sparrows, providing a consistent food source. Additionally, they create safe havens for these birds to nest and thrive by carefully placing birdhouses outside buildings.
A few decades ago, the house sparrow population faced a steep decline, raising concerns among bird lovers and conservationists. However, thanks to the dedicated efforts of the people of Mount Abu, their numbers have increased. Today, it’s not uncommon to hear excited exclamations from tourists, those from Gujarat, when they spot a house sparrow. Phrases like, “Juoo Juoo Chakli che... photo leg, photo ley ane gear mokal WhatsApp pur!” (Look, look, it’s a sparrow... take a photo and send it home on WhatsApp!) echo through the hills as these visitors marvel at the sight of a bird that has become a rarity in their own cities.
During a recent month-long stay in Ahmedabad, I felt a personal connection to the house sparrow. As I recorded a variety of bird species during my visit, I couldn’t help but notice the absence of sparrows—a stark contrast to the bustling avian life I was used to in Mount Abu. Imagine my joy when, about two weeks into my stay, I spotted and photographed a single sparrow. It was a moment of triumph, but also a reminder of the challenges these birds face in urban environments.
The efforts in Mount Abu are a testament to what communities can achieve when they come together for a common cause. On World Sparrow Day, let’s celebrate not just the house sparrows of Mount Abu but also the spirit of conservation that has allowed these birds to flourish once again.

The population of Yellow-throated sparrows in Mount Abu has tripled in the past 5 years. Local folks call them the jungle sparrow.
