Taukeer Alam Lodha is an Indian nature conservationist, writer, community educator and birder from Uttarakhand.
[6] Alam was born into the Van Gujjar tribe in Uttarakhand, and grew up in Rajaji National Park, developing an early interest in observing wildlife, particularly birds.
In 1983 Rajaji was declared a national park, forcing the Van Gujjars to quit pastorialism and relocate outside of the forest, and work as agricultural labourers.
[11] Later this team established an organisation called Maee ("buffalo caretaker" in Van Gujjari) to educate children.
[11] He has been collaborating with the forest department to take children for environmental conservation trips, teaching them about seed dispersal and other bird behaviour through birdwatching festivals and training programmes.
