For more than 20 years, British author and Cambridge University professor Robert Macfarlane has garnered international acclaim for his writings on nature and our relationships to it, from awe-inspiring wonder and life-giving sustenance to relentless extraction and exploitation. For his book, “Is a River Alive?”, Macfarlane explored the idea of rivers as animate beings, a concept that is connected to the Rights of Nature movement that has spurred a novel legal framework to protect imperiled waterways, animals and ecosystems around the world. To find out, Macfarlane embarked on a journey that spanned continents and topographies. He trekked through a cloud forest in Ecuador, visited dying and polluted waterways in southeastern India and kayaked down a river in northeastern Canada that was granted legal personhood in 2021 to save it from being dammed. Along the way, Macfarlane introduces us to the people fighting to defend these rivers, creeks and basins while bearing witness to the assaults and threats the waterways constantly face. Macfarlane joined us on June 11, 2025 to discuss “Is A River Alive?” and the ideas it explores.
The idea that a river is a living being has important legal consequences. But it also has imaginative consequences, which can, in George Eliot's words, ‘enlarge the imagined range for self to move in'. In ‘Is a River Alive?' (2025), Robert Macfarlane travels with the lawyers, Indigenous people, scientists and others who are working to protect rivers in Ecuador, India and Quebec, and challenges himself to see rivers in a way that widens the category of life. In this episode, Meehan and Peter assess Macfarlane's quest and look at the different kinds of writing he deploys along the way, including adventure story, biography and philosophy. They also look back to the origins of the rights of nature movement at the University of Southern California in the 1970s and consider whether the choice between seeing a river as either a resource or a fellow being is a false one.

The Power of Rivers: Ecology, Culture, and Reimagining Nature with Robert MacFarlane This discussion was a dream come true! Have you ever wondered what rivers can teach us about life, culture, and sustainability? If so, you're not alone. In his captivating book Is a River Alive?, Robert MacFarlane explores the profound relationships between humans and rivers across the globe, revealing how these waterways are vital to ecological health, cultural identity, and future conservation efforts. This podcast delves into MacFarlane's insights, shared stories from his travels, and practical ways you can foster guardianship of our rivers. Whether you're a nature lover, a concerned citizen, or simply curious about the natural world, this journey into the heart of rivers will inspire you to see these vital waters in a new light. You'll also want to consider the ways rivers have been your guardian all along. Why Rivers Matter: The Ecological and Cultural Crisis MacFarlane's exploration begins in England, where the health of rivers has dramatically declined due to pollution, agricultural runoff, and climate change. Only 14% of English rivers are in good ecological health, a stark figure illustrating the severity of the crisis. MacFarlane compares this decline to Rachel Carson's opening scene in Silent Spring, where poison falls from the skies, harming wildlife and communities. Yet, the crisis in England isn't solely chemical; it's also cultural. Our disconnection from rivers has led to a loss of identity and stewardship. MacFarlane's travels take him across four continents, revealing inspiring examples of rivers that are thriving and being reimagined as beings with rights. For instance, in Ecuador, the river Rio Los Cedros is protected by groundbreaking legal rights enshrined in the constitution. Similarly, in India's Tamil Nadu region, local activists combat drought and pollution, asserting their guardianship over their waterways. In North America, the Innu community in Canada's northeast has recognized river rights in regional declarations, illustrating a radical shift in environmental law. The Rebirth of River Rights What makes these stories compelling is the idea that rivers are more than just resourceful water courses—they are living entities deserving legal protection. MacFarlane's journey shows that citizen guardianship can lead to tangible change, like the Ecuadorian court ruling that protected Los Cedros' forest and river ecosystem, forcing mining companies to leave within ten days. These acts of guardianship, rooted in love and respect, demonstrate how reimagining rivers as rights-bearing beings can foster ecological healing. Stories from the Water: Encounters with Place One of MacFarlane's gifts is his ability to connect readers with the people he meets on his journeys. From the mushroom girl Juliana, who hears fungi as a language, to the indigenous communities whose rivers are sacred, these stories highlight the importance of listening, naming, and understanding our environment. Recognizing the Sign Language of Nature MacFarlane discusses Juliana's remarkable ability to sense fungi before seeing them—an almost magical skill that speaks to a deeper, intuitive understanding of ecosystems. She perceives the fungi's "voices," not through scientific rigor alone but through felt intuition. It's a reminder that humans can develop a kind of water literacy, learning to listen to the signals of rivers and oceans. These encounters illustrate that a polyphonic world exists, filled with language and meaning beyond human speech, waiting for us to perceive if we only listen. The Gift of Naming and Connection Naming, MacFarlane suggests, is a powerful act. It's a way of establishing relationship and recognition with the environment. Ann Marie talks about her experience of discovering tiny beach seedlings in Virginia, which led to a panoramic "cathedral" of beeches. Her experience exemplifies how awareness and naming deepen our connection to place. This act of naming transforms our perception, shifting us from mere observers to guardians who recognize their role in the web of life. Environmental Loss and Hope Throughout his travels, MacFarlane reflects on the disappearance of many natural places and the cultural erosion accompanying environmental decline. Yet, he emphasizes hope rooted in grassroots guardianship and legal advances. Movements in Wales, for example, have led to formal protections for rivers like the Wye, demonstrating that small steps can have ripple effects across landscapes and communities. How You Can Be a River Guardian Inspired by these stories? MacFarlane offers practical ways to foster a guardianship mindset, emphasizing collective action, local involvement, and legal advocacy. Get Involved Locally Join your community's river guardianship group or conservation organization. Guardianship isn't just about big legal battles—it starts with everyday actions like cleaning up trash, reporting pollution, or advocating for river-friendly policies. Support local initiatives such as American Rivers or Riverkeeper groups that work to protect and restore waterways. Participate in or organize community clean-up events—these tactile acts foster a sense of ownership and responsibility. Advocate for Legal Rights MacFarlane highlights Ecuador's pioneering legal framework recognizing the rights of nature which is an inspiring model worldwide. Encourage your local or national governments to adopt similar laws that extend personhood and legal protections to rivers and ecosystems. Final Thoughts: Rivers as Life's Arteries and Guardians In Is a River Alive?, MacFarlane reminds us that rivers are more than water—they are vital to life, culture, and the planet's health. Reimagining rivers as beings with rights, listening to their signals, and taking guardianship seriously offers a path to ecological renewal and cultural resilience. As citizens, learners, and guardians, we each have a role in supporting these life-giving arteries. https://www.americanrivers.org/ https://www.rightsofrivers.org/ https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/35084/robert-macfarlane/

Trump Shows Classified Map En Route To Golf. Bannon Calls Ice-Airport Ops Election Test. CBS to Meidas - A Massive Message to the Media. Mullin In at DHS. Meta Fined $375m Over Kids' Safety. MLB Opening Day. On opening day of baseball, Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff breaks down Trump's expanding forever war in Iran, new deployments of the 82nd Airborne, and the rising human cost most politicians and media are ignoring. From troops headed into combat zones to ICE crackdowns at airports, Russia's latest massive drone and missile barrage against Ukraine, tech companies exploiting kids, and a shameless candidate joking about veteran suicide, Paul connects the dots on how Trump's culture war at home and forever war abroad are making America less safe—and why this is a time to stay vigilant. Then, one of the best investigative reporters in America, Scott MacFarlane, returns with breaking insight on January 6th cases, new revelations about Trump allegedly showing a classified map en route to Mar-a-Lago, and what his headline-making move from CBS News to Meidas Touch Network really says about the future of media and democracy. Scott and Paul dig into why independent, enterprising journalism is the last line of defense against disinformation, how legacy TV is collapsing while independent media explodes, and what it means for all of us heading into an election year, a growing war, and a season of political violence risk. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Subscribe to Scott's amazing new SubStack @MacFarlaneNews here. -Join IVA and stand up to Trump's Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.
