Nashik Officer Inspires Children For Protection of Birds, launches Galor Samarpan Abhiyan: Maharashtra

The initiative is appreciated by many and is suggested to make it wider in the country.
Small steps turn into big differences, and this has been seen turning possible. Assistant Conservator of Forests(ACF) of West Nashik Anand Reddy set an example by kickstarting a small yet important movement by educating the children of a village in Nashik to give up the use of slingshots to hurt birds. Reddy shared his story of success in a series of tweets on his handle and it is a must-read.
Here`s a dilemma..

You see a cute bird. And you see a cute kid. Then you see the kid kill the bird with this slingshot. Will you punish the kid?
This is very common in many villages in Nashik. It leads to empty forests - no birds, no chirping, no singing.

Reddy started his initiative of ‘Galor Samarpan Abhiyan` on World Environment Day this year to encourage the village kids to give up slingshots or Galor that they use to throw stones at birds. "This is very common in many villages in Nashik. It leads to empty forests - no birds, no chirping, no singing. Only silence!" he details in his first tweet.
The post goes on to describe how the initiative was planned accordingly. “So how to make these innocent kids stop using galor (slingshot)? By talking to each child. By telling each kid how painful it is. By making them promise never to use again. By nudging them to "voluntarily #surrender Galor."

Kids are just like clay if nurtured properly come out with great outcomes. And this is what the IFS officer did, he taught the importance of birds and nature and this is a great step in bringing a change soon.
