Dr. S. A. Hussain Memorial Day Celebration are held regularly every year and S. A. Hussain Memorial Environment Award Ceremony is also held and awards given to people who are working in the field of ornithology as a recognitiion of their services in the field. A trust has been formed in the name of the renowned ornithologist at Karkala (his birth place) having his family members as some of the trustees. Every year the trust confers his memorial award. Dr. S.A.Hussain: Syed Abdulla Hussain (13 August 1944 – 30 December 2009) was an Indian ornithologist. He is best known for the work he undertook at the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) along with famous ornithologist Dr. Salim Ali. Hussain accompanied Ali on numerous expeditions and later conducted surveys on his own. Hussain became assistant curator of the BNHS in 1979, a senior scientist from 1985 to 1990 and then a deputy director of research until 1992. He later moved to Malaysia where he headed the Asian Wetland Bureau. He was also briefly the vice-chairman of BirdLife International. His finding of the Broad-tailed Grassbird from Point Calimere opens up the possibility of the species in Sri Lanka, from where an old questionable specimen record exists.n the summer of 1977 he and Salim Ali, went to Bhutan to look for the Yellow-rumped Honeyguide. He noted the opportunistic behaviour of the honey guides, making use of the attacks of Vespa mandarinia on the hives of Apis dorsata laboriosa. He also saw a honeyguide in the Valley of Flowers which he suggested should belong to the little-known subspecies radcliffi described by Allan Octavian Hume. He described a new subspecies of the Bay Owl Phodilus badius (P. b. ripleyi) in 1977. In 1983 he surveyed the Black-necked Crane in Ladakh. Dr. S.A.Hussain is a fascinating personality to read about in the field study of birds whose works have been recognized and well appreciated by people and experts in the field of ornithology along with others in general.
