The Nature Forever Society (NFS) has been working for the conservation of house sparrows and other common flora and fauna since 2006. Started by Mohammed Dilawar (founder and president), NFS was registered in 2008. The mission of the Nature Forever Society is to involve citizens in the conservation movement in India. To achieve this NFS has been working by launching initiatives which are simple and have far reaching conservation value.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.india.com/topic/Nature-Forever-Society.html )〕 Dilawar said: For me if we can't save a sparrow which is found around us then it is too ambitious to save a tiger. So first we have to save the sparrows and only then can we dream of saving the tiger.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Nature Forever Society )〕 Since it started NFS has spearheaded programs and projects that are making a visible difference to sparrow populations in cities. Some of the initiatives started by Nature Forever Society are CBMI, World Sparrow Day, Project SOS, NFS Sparrow Awards and Adopt a Feeder and Nest program, among others. ==Common Bird Monitoring of India (CBMI)== The Common Bird Monitoring of India program, is a pioneer project and the first of its kind in the India. Launched in Mumbai, India on the occasion of World Sparrow Day on 20 March 2012, its objective is to monitor common birds found in India. A Nature Forever Society initiative, the program is aimed at monitoring, through detailed mapping, the 18 common bird species found across the country such as the house sparrows, house crow, rock pigeon and rose-ringed parakeet, as well as the lesser known ashy prinia and hoopoe. It is a unique project because it is by the people, for the people and of the people. In addition to India, the project also aims to help map the common bird species in the entire Indian subcontinent, including Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nature Forever Society」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
