For 27 years, Pannalal Mahto of Jharkhand has mimicked bird calls, healed the injured & built 500+ nests, reviving sparrows and turning his village into a sanctuary.
If you see a nest in your locality, chances are it has links to Rakesh Khatri, who has been putting these up across Indian cities for the last 14 years.
Koodugal Trust, a Chennai-based initiative is transforming communities by combining education, conservation, and hands-on action to protect sparrows and inspire future generations to give back to nature.
Besides working relentlessly to save house sparrows in eleven districts of Odisha, Rabindra Sahu is also working for the conservation of Olive Ridley turtles since 1993
Besides building a natural habitat for sparrows, Inderpal and his family have also been working towards environment conservation and protection. They have planted around 800 trees in their colonies, and on the outskirts of the city.
The melodious chirping of these adorable little avians and a zero problem with breeding or dirtying our environment had made house sparrows a unanimous favourite among humans, and sparrows returned our love.
