The Decolonizing Conservation Reading List has moved to Notion! This version will be available for the foreseeable future, but I will no longer update it (as of January 23, 2023). For more info about the switch, please see this link.
Decolonizing Conservation Reading List
Compiled and managed by Sara Cannon, secannon@protonmail.com .
To read about the intended audience for this list and its purpose, please visit this blog post.
A Spanish version of the list is available here, thanks to Twitter user @agrohacker! Léalo en español aquí. French versions of the blog post and list are also available, thanks to Marine Gauthier. Vous pouvez lire l'article de blog original ici et accéder à la liste en français (avec des ressources en français) ici.
I would be grateful for any suggestions for resources to add to this list (please email them to me here), especially if they were created by people who are Indigenous and/or who are from the ‘Global South’. Please also feel free to send me an email if you would like a copy of an article that is behind a paywall. I am happy to use my library privileges to share a PDF if I can. Many thanks to all of the people who have taken the time to review and provide feedback and suggestions! Note that some resources are listed in more than one section.

I believe it is important to pay people for their labor, although I don’t feel that it’s appropriate for me to accept payment for this work. Instead, I hope that you will instead consider making a contribution to the following Indigenous people and causes:
- The Wet’suwet’en people at the Unist’ot’en Camp in British Columbia are actively being displaced from their land (in violation of the UN Declaration of the Rights for Indigenous Peoples) so that LNG can construct a pipeline that will transport oil from Alberta’s tar sands to the coast. Please consider making a contribution to support them here.
- Please consider contributing to the Lytton First Nation Emergency Relief Fund. Lytton, BC broke several temperature records in late June 2021, with temperatures reaching almost 50 degrees Celsius, immediately followed by a devastating forest fire.
- I am constantly learning from Dr. Katherine Crocker, who is always generous with her time and never hesitates to call people out using patience and compassion, despite the toll it takes on her personally. You can make a contribution to her PayPal, or support her by buying some of her lovely jewelry. Dr. Crocker uses the funds she receives to support Indigenous folks in need.
