Sir
Subject: Diminishing number of birds
With deep regret I wish to bring to your kind notice about the decrease in the population of birds inMysore. Mysore is known to have more than 500 species of birds but many of them are on the verge ofextinction.
According to the reports from the recent seminar held on Conservation of Birds, there was a time, when anumber of birds would flock to the banks of river Kaveri, Bandipur wild life sanctuary and forested canopyin Mysore. These numbers have come crashing down in the recent years.
The main reasons are rampant construction of buildings, bridges and flyovers, cutting of forests and ofcourse environmental pollution. Many species have become endangered. It is time the people of Mysorewere made aware of this grave situation by conducting seminars and workshops.
The locals should be given incentives for preserving the birds. Sanction for the construction of buildings,malls, bridges ands so on should be given only after proper evaluation of the environmental impact ofthose constructions over the life of species there. Let’s not forget that birds are an important link in thefood chain.
I request the government, environmentalists and the society to show their concern before it is too late.
Thanking You
Yours faithfully

Answer: A formal letter to the Director, Bird Links Society, expressing concern about the falling number of birds in Delhi, is given below.

Sir/Madam,
I am writing to express my deep concern about the steady decline in the number of birds in Delhi. On a recent visit to the city, I noticed that common birds such as house sparrows, mynas and parakeets, which were once seen everywhere, have become rare. Even the house sparrow, Delhi's state bird, is hardly heard in many colonies.
The main reasons seem to be the rapid cutting of trees for roads and buildings, glass-and-concrete houses that leave no nesting places, rising air and noise pollution, and the use of pesticides that kill the insects birds feed on. Mobile towers and the shrinking of wetlands such as those along the Yamuna have made things worse.
Birds control insects, spread seeds and are an important link in the food chain. Their disappearance is a warning about the health of our environment.
I request your society to start awareness campaigns in Delhi schools and colonies, encourage people to put up nest boxes and water bowls, plant native trees and urge the authorities to protect green belts and wetlands. I would be glad to volunteer for such a programme.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Sidhi / Sanjay
