Eco Roots Foundation is a non-profit organization working for environmental and ecosystem conservation with a focus on interacting with the younger generation to provoke both thought and action towards this. Our major focus is to interact with the younger generation like school and college students along with corporate professionals inciting thought and action towards the environmental and ecosystem conservation.
Bird Houses has been a major program for the organization as Mr. Rakesh Khatri, the founding Trustee of the organization with his passion towards birds and their conservation has been motivating people both young and old towards making and installing bird houses across the country. Hence, he is popularly known as the “Nest Man of India.” Along with this, he is a well-known environmentalist who has been making students across the country aware on the issues of environment.
