How We Works

Why Caging Sparrows?

Not to confine the sparrow as pet as we do with other birds; rather providing space to share and live with us.

Healing

KOODUGAL (NEST) is recreating that space for sparrow by distributing nest through school students.

Building Nest

We have organised 4 workshops and have distributed around 1000 nests to the students.

Helping Sparrows

Invariably , 70% of the nests have already received their guests i.e., sparrows.

WHO WE ARE?

Giant Leaps Begin with a Single Step...

In 2014, the Journey started as a member of CARE – the Eco Club of Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering, Sriperumbudur, supported by EMAI – Trust for Environment Monitoring and Action Initiating. We started a survey to identify areas in Chennai where the House sparrow population is still existing. Based on the survey it was found that the sparrow population is thriving in North Madras (Thiruvottiyur, Tondiarpet, Washermanpet, Royapuram etc.,) and also in pockets of Chintadripet, Triplicane, Urapakkam, T.Nagar, Velachery, Poonamallee, Perambur, ECR, Adyar, Pattinapakkam, Tambaram.

Founder's Message

Mr. D. Ganeshan

Environmentalist, Koodugal Organisation

Nature has gifted abundant resources equally to all creatures in the universe without expecting anything in favour in return. Even so, mankind has made extensive use of such assets and in the name of SIXTHSENSE destroying the life of other Creatures. Anyhow, nature tries its best to heal them. Humans need to understand that the extinction of other Creatures will make them attain a horrible destiny. Hence, it is our duty to show gratitude towards that by saving them. If we haven’t taken any steps to save it, then at least we shouldn’t be an obstacle during their process of restoring themselves. Nature does not expect anything from us during regeneration, apart from our cooperation. In preserving the resources left with us, we need to step forward and join hands to help save our beautiful home planet by taking a pledge.
