House Crows Aid Green Cover Expansion in Arid Rayalaseema, Study Finds

A study by Sri Krishnadevaraya University documents how house crows contribute to natural regeneration by dispersing neem seeds across Rayalaseema's arid regions.

Crows feed on neem fruits from March to June and spread seeds through droppings, leading to an estimated 2% increase in urban greenery.

Despite a decline in crow populations due to environmental changes, their seed dispersal role is vital for afforestation efforts in the region.
