As the birds’ habitats dwindle, Rakesh Khatri is on a mission to build nests and teach others how to do the same
Before, people would make sure to leave spaces for these birds to build nests but now one bothers to think about it“This city is turning into a concrete jungle. Earlier, people would make sure to leave spaces for these birds to build nests but now no one is bothered to think about it,” Khatri says.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that is not the case, says Khatri. “The declining population of this once-common bird highlights the need for increased awareness and conservation efforts to prevent further loss,” he says. Sudipto Chatterjee is an associate professor at New Delhi’s Energy and Resources Institute, where Khatri has shown students his nest-building skills.
On a walk through the lanes of Ali Vihar, in south-east Delhi, Khatri looks for the nest he installed there four years ago. Seeing sparrows in it delights him.
