Nikhil Devasar was born, brought up, and continues to live in Delhi. In the year 2000, he revived the Delhibird Club, an ornithological group that had not functioned for many years. Today, “Delhibird” has a membership of over 50,000 committed amateur and professional ornithologists. Nikhil has inspired and led many of the group’s conservation efforts, such as monitoring the status of birdlife and their habitats. He organizes awareness and education programmes for young people as well as a census of Delhi’s birdlife through the annual “Big Bird Day”, when numerous teams visit birding sites and compile species counts. His expertise has resulted in the publication of several books, and his photographs are regularly featured in Indian and foreign nature magazines and publications.
