This Zoom webinar explores how histories of colonialism, apartheid and uneven development have set the terms for today’s “solutions” to ecological crisis, engaging not only the common conditions of oppression faced by Indigenous communities across the world, but also the solidarities they are forging in their shared struggle against neocolonial conservation—and for Land Back.

Focusing on ongoing work to fight coastal erosion on the Pacific coast, this panel engages a frank conversation with Native and non-Native ocean conservation practitioners grappling with the complexities of decolonizing and Indigenizing conservation.

This panel explores the role that Western science plays in naturalizing the colonial intrusions that produced the contemporary water crisis on the Colorado River, revealing solutions to the crisis that are unimaginable from the settler-colonial view.

This virtual event series brings together scholar-activists, scientists, natural historians, conservationists, water protectors and land defenders to define a natural history for our world in crisis.

In the name of conservation, natural landscapes the world over have been divided up, fenced off, and barricaded against the people and animals that call them home, fragmenting habitats and devastating lifeworlds. Join us for four days of events that expose this crisis of colonial conservation, and advance a more just conservation for our world in crisis.
