Nesting Dunes: The Wings of Thar

As World Environment Day approached in 2024, we wanted to celebrate something truly special – the vibrant tapestry of birdlife that thrives alongside our operations in Barmer, Rajasthan. And so, “Nesting Dunes: The Wings of Thar” took flight.

This stunning coffee table book is more than just a collection of beautiful photographs. It’s a window into the lives of 72 different bird species, each a testament to the desert’s hidden wonders. From the majestic Indian Vulture soaring on thermals to the Tailorbird’s ingenious nest-building techniques, “Nesting Dunes” reveals the captivating world of the Thar’s avifauna.

But this book isn’t just about celebrating beauty. It’s a reflection of Cairn’s commitment to fostering harmony between our operations and the environment. From self-sustaining drinking water facilities for wildlife to measures against electrocution hazards and native tree plantations, we’re dedicated to preserving Rajasthan’s unique biodiversity. “Nesting Dunes” is a testament to this commitment, a promise to leave a positive, lasting impact on the land we share with these incredible creatures.
