A compendium of 49 bird species, from Avocet to Yellowhammer, all of which are declining or endangered in Britain.

Stunning picture book collaboration from bestselling author Robert Macfarlane, actor Johnny Flynn and illustrator Emily Sutton
At the heart of ‘Is a River Alive?’ is a single, transformative idea: that rivers are not mere matter for human use, but living beings, who should be recognised as such in both imagination and law. Macfarlane takes the reader on a mind-expanding global journey into the history, futures, people and places of the ancient, urgent concept. Around the world, rivers are dying from pollution, drought and damming. But a powerful movement is also underway to recognize the lives and the rights of rivers, and to re-animate our relationships with these vast, mysterious presences whose landscapes we share. The young ‘rights of nature’ movement has lit up activists, artists, law-makers and politicians across six continents – and become the focus for revolutionary thinking about rivers in particular.
