"Mr Tata’s loss will be deeply felt. An extraordinary man, he not only elevated India’s presence on the global stage, but also truly institutionalised philanthropy. We are a richer nation thanks to him, and poorer to have lost him. Go well, Mr Tata." Rishad Premji, Executive Chairman, Wipro Limited Photo courtesy - St.Gallen Museum

The Finn’s weaver is a lesser-known weaver bird species. It is found in parts of Uttarakhand and Assam in India. The species is facing the risk of extinction. It is listed as 'vulnerable' in the Red List of IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature).   Nature Science Initiative (NSI) has been a Sustainability Educator partner of the Wipro earthian Program since 2022. NSI's educators are evangelizing the Wipro earthian Program in Uttarakhand. They are spearheading community-led sustainability initiatives in the region's schools.
