How climate change is affecting the movement of trees
Although trees cannot extract their roots from the soil and walk, they move through successive generational shifts. They reproduce through seed dispersal, and rely on animals, winds, and waters to carry their seeds to fertile soils and germinate.
But forests today cannot move fast enough due to for changing environmental factors.

The Hindu LFL 2021 - Reclaiming Gandhi: Subodh Kerkar
Who is Gandhi and what he stood for are more relevant in the world that we live in. Why should we do whatever it takes to re-claim the universal consciousness that the Mahatma truly believed in?
This session by Subodh Kerkar, a doctor and an artist delves into his childhood fascination for the Mahatma Gandhi and reinforces the power of art to spread ideas
Let us take a moment to introduce
Subodh Kerkar was born in a small picturesque village of Keri on the northern border of Goa. A qualified medical professional, he gave up medicine to pursue arts 30 years ago. He is an artist and an activist and uses art to comment on social, political, religious and other issues. Subodh Kerkar’s installations are heavily washed by the ocean, both literally and metaphorically. He creates his ephemeral installations using thousands of mussel shells, pebbles, palm leaves, boats, fishermen and sand. Subodh creates large works on the seashore, which are often infused with politics and history. Subodh is the Founding Director of the Museum of Goa (MOG) and has exhibited widely in India and abroad in galleries and in museums.

The Hindu LFL 2021 - In The Wild: Conversations about Conservation.
Animals behave the way they do simply to survive. Rogue monkeys, man-eating leopards, and angry tuskers are willful and live outside the bounds of human society, but that may not necessarily be a bad thing, says Neha Sinha in her book Wild & Willful. Sanjay Gubbi talks about Leopards being much more elastic and the reason why they are landscape insensitive as compared to Tigers in his book Leopard Diaries.
In this session, we are hoping to travel into the wild and talk about the imperatives of conservation.
Let me introduce the speakers..
Neha Sinha is a conservation biologist and the author of Wild and Wilful (2021). She heads Conservation and Policy at the Bombay Natural History Society. She is a widely published environmental commentator and her columns and op-eds appear in BloombergQuint, Hindustan Times, The Hindu and others. She is Consulting Editor for Sanctuary Asia and has been awarded the INLAKS scholarship. Neha is interested in the intersection of Environment and politics. Wild and Wilful tells the story of 15 iconic Indian species through literary non-fiction.
Dr. Sanjay Gubbi is a leading wildlife biologist and conservationist in the country who has made notable contributions to the preservation of wildlife. He bridges a strong understanding of the socio-economic and political aspects of conservation with its scientific bases. He relentlessly works with the Government, political leaders, social and religious leaders, local communities, media personnel and others to bring about crucial changes for wildlife conservation. His latest book Leopard Diaries: The
Rosette in India is based on his extensive work on leopards.
Dr Mahesh Rangarajan studied history at Hindu College, University of Delhi, and at Balliol College and Nuffield College, Oxford. Presently the Vice Chancellor of Krea University, he teaches History and Environmental Studies. His books include Fencing the Forest (1996), India's Wildlife History (2000), and Nature and Nation (2015). The co-edited books on conservation include Battles over Nature (2003) and Nature without Borders (2014). In 2010, he was chair of the Elephant Task Force of the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India. Just last month, he was recognised as Honorary Foreign Member by the American Historical Association, only the fourth Indian to be bestowed with this honour.

The Hindu LFL 2021 - The Song of Draupadi: Ira Mukhoty in Conversation with Pankaja Srinivasan.
We live in a world where now more than ever, it is imperative to recognise that history is often told through the lens of a man… His Story… In The Song of Draupadi, Ira Mukhoty sheds light on the beating heart of the epic which is often forgotten—the stories of its women. Many of these exceptional women appear in Song of Draupadi—the indomitable Satyavati, the otherworldly Ganga, the indestructible Kunti, and the tenacious Gandhari—but the passionate and fiery Draupadi rises above them all to grip the imagination of the reader.
Let us take a moment to introduce the speakers
Ira Mukhoty is the author of Akbar: The Great Mughal, Daughters of the Sun:
Empresses, Queens and Begums of the Mughal Empire and Heroines: Powerful Indian Women in
Myth and History. Living in one of the oldest continuously inhabited
cities in the world, she developed an interest in the evolution of mythology
and history, the erasure of women from these histories, and the continuing
relevance this has on the status of women in India. She writes rigorously
researched narrative histories that are accessible to the lay reader. She lives
in Gurgaon with her husband and two daughters. Her first novel Song of Draupadi was published in August
2021.
Pankaja Srinivasan is an independent journalist. She was educated in Kolkata and Delhi and began her career in Star & Style in Mumbai in the 1980s.
Pankaja has worked in Indian Express and India Today and was with The Hindu for around 15 years. She retired as Senior Deputy Editor
heading the MetroPlus edition in Coimbatore. She
enjoys food, travelling, reading whodunnits and historical novels and listening
to Hindi film music.

Dangerous sinkholes form around receding Dead Sea
Thousands of sinkholes have formed around the Dead Sea, the landlocked salt lake between Israel and Jordan.
The Dead Sea has lost a third of its surface area since 1960. It has been receding by about a metre every year. The receding of the Dead Sea has caused thousands of sinkholes to form around its shores.

The Hindu LFL 2021 - Sense, Smell, Touch - Collaborating in Theatre Making
No matter if it's a web series on 4k resolution or a film on an IMAX screen, nothing matches up to the romance and physicality of theatre. From the playwright to the director to the actors and finally to the spectators, not to forget the numerous other contributors like the set designers, costume creations, theatre is a beautiful representation of how different creative minds come together with a singular thought to create an unforgettable sensorial production.
We are really looking forward to this discussion between Anuradha Kapur and Deepan Sivaram on how creation is as much a collaborative process as it is about an individual piece of creation.
Let me take a moment to introduce the speakers
Anuradha Kapur is a theatre maker and an academic. Her theatre work has travelled nationally and internationally and taught in universities in India and abroad. She is the founder-member of Vivadi, a working group of theatre-makers, visual artists, filmmakers, musicians and writers. She was awarded the Sangeet Natak Akademi award for Direction in 2004. Anuradha Kapur completed her term as Director National School of Drama, New Delhi in 2013, where she was also Professor of Acting and Direction. She is presently Visiting Professor at
Ambedkar University, Delhi.
Deepan Sivaraman is a renowned theatre director and scenographer based in Delhi. He is the founding Artistic Director of Oxygen Theatre Company in Kerala and Performance Studies Collective based in Delhi. He was the artistic director of the International Theatre Festival of Kerala for the 2014 edition, which had the curatorial focus on Transition, Spectatorship and Gender. Presently he is the Dean of School of Culture and Creative Expressions at the Ambedkar University, Delhi.
