In this episode we talk about the colonial and racist origins of the nature conservation movement in the US and how Indigenous people were dispossessed of their lands for the creation of national parks and protected areas across the globe. This concept of land-grabs and forceful evictions for biodiversity conservation, often referred to as "fortress conservation", continues until the present day.
In the second part of this episode we focus on racism and right-wing narratives in present day environmental groups and hear some practical advice how ecological initiatives can prevent far-right take over and oppose far-right narratives and ideology in their groups.
