As it the festival season of Makar Sankranti, popularly known as Uttarayan in Gujarat, we become busy in flying kites in the sky. In order to cut the kites of others, we are using threads modified with smashed glass which becomes harmful to the flying birds and sometimes to human too. In association with Forest Department, every year Vasundhara Nature Club starts a helpline to help the injured birds during this festive season.
Many volunteers from different organizations join us in this noble cause. To explain them the situation we face every year and to train them how to react and proceed when someone finds an injured bird, we organize a talk on "
Avian Rescue and Rehabitation". The talk was conducted by Mr. Pranav Vaghasiya. Founder of Vasundhara Nature Club.
Also, as a part of spreading awareness, we organized a talk in Ghodasara Mahila College, Junagadh in which students were explained the deprivation caused by the harmful threades. They were also explained about the preliminary treatment given to such avian.
If one finds any injured bird during these days near Junagadh area, can contact us on our helpline number +91 99093 90070.
