A TALE THAT GAVE WINGS TO CHANGE
As trees and traditional nesting spaces gradually disappeared from growing cities, the familiar presence of sparrows began to fade with them.
Shri Rakesh Khatri chose not to accept that silence.
He began experimenting with natural materials to create safe, bird-friendly nests. What started as a personal effort gradually became a larger movement—bringing together students, communities and institutions to make space for birds in the environments we share.
Today, he is known as the Nest Man of India.
Through his work, he reminds us that conservation does not always begin with a grand gesture. Sometimes, it begins by noticing what the world is quietly losing and deciding to bring it back.
