Chennai’s Sparrow man built over 4,000+ sparrow homes, and in some areas nearly doubled their population.
When Hafiz Khan moved to Chennai, he noticed something most people didn’t, the sparrows were gone.
So in 2022, he began building simple cardboard nests.
Working with communities, placing them across fishing hamlets, and slowly changing mindsets.
“People thought sparrows would create a mess. It took time to change that.”
Today, his work goes beyond sparrows with over 1.6 million trees planted and 198 urban forests created.
