Natural Laws: Environment, Ecology, and Responsible Governance
Ruth Padel and Prerna Singh Bindra in conversation with John Elliott
A diverse panel discusses the roles of individuals, corporations, and governments in aligning policies and practices with the protection of natural laws and environmental challenges. They explore how businesses can drive environmental change—by going green, cutting emissions, and rethinking priorities—and examine what’s needed to close the gap between economic growth and ecological responsibility. Ruth Padel is a British poet, novelist, and non-fiction writer, known for weaving cultural history, science, and the wild into award-winning works. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and the Zoological Society of London, she has published thirteen poetry collections, including Darwin: A Life in Poems, a verse biography of her great-great-grandfather. Prerna Singh Bindra is a wildlife conservationist and writer whose works include the critically acclaimed The Vanishing: India’s Wildlife Crisis and best-selling book for children When I grow up I want to be a Tiger. They will be in conversation with John Elliott, a semi-retired foreign correspondent who spent more than 25 years in India, writing initially for the Financial Times and later the Economist and Fortune magazine.
Award-winning poet and conservationist Ruth Padel has published thirteen collections, taught Greek at Oxford, opera in Princeton, and is Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and Professor of Poetry Emerita King’s College London. In an era of rising misogyny, and the women’ rights under new attack, her new collection, Girl, explores how girls, east and west, ancient, mythical and modern, face a world shaped by male power and fantasy.
Prerna Singh Bindra is a wildlife conservationist and writer whose works include the critically acclaimed The Vanishing: India’s Wildlife Crisis and best-selling book for children When I grow up I want to be a Tiger. She is currently pursuing her PhD at the University of Cambridge.
