Robert Macfarlane speaks to Siddharth Pandey about his latest book, ‘Is a River Alive?’ where he undertakes major journeys to rivers in northern Ecuador, South India; and north-eastern Quebec, where communities are waging a desperate battle to save the lives of these waterbodies. Most of Macfarlane’s writings, who wrote his first book, ‘Mountains of the Mind’ when he was just in his twenties, explore the subtle and complex myriad relationships between landscape and humans. #RightsofNature #RiversHaveRights #LivingRivers #EnvironmentalJustice #ClimateAction #EcoLaw #NatureRights #ProtectOurPlanet #RiverPersonhood #Sustainability #IndigenousWisdom #EarthLaw

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
