Drawing on eight years of research in Laikipia, Kenya, Charis Enns and Brock Bersaglio use immersive methods to reveal how animals and plants can be enrolled in the reproduction of settler colonialism. The book details how ecological relations have been unmade and remade to enable settler colonialism to endure as a structure in this part of Kenya. It describes five modes of violent ecological transformation used to prolong structures of settler colonialism: eliminating undesired wild species; rewilding landscapes with more desirable species to settler ecologists; selectively repeopling wilderness to create seemingly more inclusive wild spaces and capitalize on biocultural diversity; rescuing injured animals and species at risk of extinction to shore up moral support for settler ecologies; and extending settler ecologies through landscape approaches to conservation that scale wild spaces. Settler Ecologies serves as a cautionary tale for future conservation agendas in all settler colonies. While urgent action is needed to halt global biodiversity loss, this book underscores the need to continually question whether the types of nature being preserved advance settler colonial structures or create conditions in which ecologies can otherwise be (re)made and flourish. 606 $aHuman ecology$zKenya$zLaikipia County$2DLC 606 $aHuman ecology$zKenya$zLaikipia County 606 $aSettler colonialism$xEnvironmental aspects$zKenya$zLaikipia County$2DLC 606 $aSettler colonialism$xEnvironmental aspects$zKenya$zLaikipia County 606 $aWildlife conservation$zKenya$zLaikipia County$2DLC 606 $aWildlife conservation$zKenya$zLaikipia County 606 $aNATURE / Environmental Conservation & Protection$2bisacsh 615 0$aHuman ecology 615 0$aHuman ecology 615 0$aSettler colonialism$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aSettler colonialism$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aWildlife conservation 615 0$aWildlife conservation 615 7$aNATURE / Environmental Conservation & Protection. 676 $a304.2096762/753 700 $aEnns$b Charis$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01782967 702 $aBersaglio$b Brock$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aKarmushu$b Ramson, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 712 02$aUniversity of Toronto Libraries$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996633969403316 996 $aSettler Ecologies$94309609 997 $aUNISA
