India Launches 'Young Birders Month' to Ignite Nature Passion in Children
6 Oct, 2025
Summary
- Early Bird, a bird-watching platform, launches 'Young Birders Month' in November
- Initiative aims to engage children in birdwatching, outdoor activities, and wildlife conservation
- Supported by WWF India, the program brings together educators and conservationists
In a bid to ignite a love for nature among children, the Early Bird platform, known for its extensive bird sighting data across India, has launched the 'Young Birders Month' (YBM) initiative. Set to take place from November 1 to 30, 2025, this nationwide program aims to engage young participants through a variety of outdoor activities and educational experiences.
The YBM initiative is being organized by the Nature Conservation Foundation (NCF), a public charitable trust, and is supported by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) India. The program brings together educators and conservationists from across the country to help children discover the wonders of birdwatching and the significance of protecting wildlife.
November was chosen as the host month for YBM as it marks the arrival of migratory birds in many parts of India, as well as the birth anniversary of renowned ornithologist Dr. Salim Ali and Children's Day. Through this initiative, the organizers aim to nurture a lifelong appreciation for nature and inspire the next generation of conservation leaders.
