This book explores the enduring influence of the colonial legacy on attitudes about relationships between people and nature in countries that were once part of the British Empire, either at the periphery or the center. Colonial annexation and government were accompanied by the colonization and exploitation of nature, both for production and even in the name of conservation.

This book argues that there is a need for new forms of ethical engagement between people and nature.
