However, now they are hardly spotted and are only to be seen in the areas close to the mangroves. There have been some new constructions and lot of encroachments close to the mangroves and this could effect the sparrows habitat. It is of utmost importance that we save the mangroves as it is home to a lot of species. Please do let me know if any specific information is required or if any survey needs to be done to gather additional information. |
