Water-filled Containers Managed in Nepalgunj to Save Birds from Heat

A campaign has been launched here to save birds from the scorching heat.

Some youths here launched the campaign, citing birds might suffer in lack of drinking water in Nepalgunj area due to the extreme heat.

Mahesh Shrestha of Nepalgunj Gallery shared that an arrangement has been made to provide water using waste plastic bottles for birds.

They have started providing drinking water to birds by preparing water containers from plastic bottles collected from roadsides.

Animal right activist Subas Sahu and environment campaigner Hemant Raj Kafle are also the party of the campaign.

Stating that the human beings should be sensitive towards the life of birds, animals and insects during summer, Kafle opined that birds, animals and insects are important for the ecosystem.

Protecting such creatures is shared responsibility of all as their role is very important for environment conservation and maintaining bio-diversity, added Kafle, stating that the campaign should be continued as mercury is rising.

Similarly, Shrestha underlined that an arrangement of drinking water has been managed by using the waste plastic bottles at a time when birds have been affected in lack of water during increasing heat.

He added that a campaign to prepare water containers to provide drinking water to birds and animals would continue every Saturday. A target has been set to install water containers hanging in tree from Surkhet road to Ranjha Chowk.

It is expected that the campaign launched in Nepalgunj would further strengthen co-existence between human and nature amidst increasing mercury and impact of climate change. (RSS)
