“…The fundamental purpose of the campaign was to increase food production, but the elimination of sparrows reduced production even more. The extinction of sparrows upset the ecological balance, as the number of locusts and insects surged due to the lack of natural enemies, destroying crops (Bell, 2017). With no sparrows to eat them, locusts proliferate across the country, exacerbating ecological problems already caused by the Great Leap Forward, including widespread deforestation and the abuse of poisons and pesticides.…”

Tree and house sparrows are the most common sparrows in China, but sparrow populations have experienced extreme, man-made declines in history. Sparrows have been listed as beneficial birds in China, but the protective behavior of sparrows is almost invisible. This paper discusses the status of sparrows in China, compares the protection and coping methods of sparrows abroad, and provides possible protection schemes: (1) to provide adequate high-quality food sources in sparrow habitat; (2) to reduce the impact of habitat fragmentation; (3) to reduce unnecessary human intervention on sparrows; (4) to identify sparrow’s ecological functionality correctly. Future studies should incorporate more factors to comprehensively assess the need to protect sparrows.
