In a world racing toward urbanization and concrete jungles, the natural dwellings of many small and delicate creatures—birds, squirrels, and other tiny animals—are rapidly vanishing. Amid this silent crisis, Pehel Foundation Charitable Trust has taken a compassionate and impactful step forward with its heartwarming campaign, “Basera”, which beautifully translates to residence or home.

The Vision Behind Basera

The essence of Basera lies in the belief that every living being—no matter how small—deserves a safe, nurturing place to live. The campaign is dedicated to enhancing and preserving biodiversity, focusing especially on birds, squirrels, and other small wildlife that are increasingly displaced due to deforestation, pollution, and urban expansion.

Pehel Foundation envisions cities and communities where harmony between humans and nature is not just possible, but celebrated. Through Basera, they are not only protecting biodiversity—they are reviving a sense of coexistence.

What Basera Does

The Basera campaign is action-driven and community-centered. Its activities include:

• Installation of Bird Feeders: Strategically placed in parks, gardens, schools, residential areas, and public spaces, these feeders ensure birds can find nourishment even in the most built-up areas.
• Water Facilities for Birds and Animals: Clean, regularly replenished water sources are installed and maintained, providing relief during harsh summers and dry spells.
• Bird Houses & Nests: Safe, handmade wooden homes are installed in trees and urban green spaces, giving birds and squirrels a secure place to rest, breed, and shelter.
• Nut & Grain Stations: A diverse offering of seeds, grains, and nuts is made available, tailored to attract and nourish different species, encouraging biodiversity in each locality.
• Public Awareness Drives: The campaign regularly conducts educational workshops, school events, and community drives to teach people—especially children—about the importance of living in harmony with nature.

Why Basera Matters

In the race for development, we often forget that the earth belongs to more than just humans. Birds are essential pollinators, pest controllers, and indicators of environmental health. Squirrels play a vital role in forest regeneration. When we care for them, we’re not just being kind—we're ensuring the survival of ecosystems that sustain all life, including ours.

Basera is more than a campaign—it’s a call to action. It is a reminder that kindness can be shown in simple ways: by hanging a feeder, leaving out water, planting native trees, or simply choosing to observe and appreciate the life fluttering and scampering around us.

Community Involvement & Impact

One of the most beautiful aspects of Basera is how it draws people together. Volunteers of all ages take part in feeder installations, grain refills, and maintenance. Local artists design eco-friendly birdhouses. Children write letters to birds and decorate their feeding stations.

The results are both tangible and heartwarming: increased sightings of sparrows, parrots, mynahs, and squirrels; reduced mortality during heatwaves; and stronger community bonds through shared environmental stewardship.

A Call to Join Hands

Pehel Foundation invites everyone—schools, residents, businesses, and fellow NGOs—to become part of the Basera family. By sponsoring a feeder, adopting a birdhouse, or simply spreading the message, you can help give a home to those who ask for nothing but a chance to live.

Let us not forget: When we protect the smallest lives, we build a more compassionate, sustainable, and beautiful world for all.
