Some of the currently most pressing global challenges center around climate change, biodiversity loss and habitat destruction. To address these, most nations have adopted strategies for nature conservation and management that are seemingly pro-environmental - "green". This podcast draws attention to the fact that these practices are a continuation of colonial thought and practice. Using the development of Australian conservation policies, disaster management and the eco-tourism industry the concept of Green Colonialism is elucidated. Despite recent progress regarding the recognition of aboriginal people, the government fails to acknowledge the practical implications coming with traditional custodianship and largely excludes Aboriginal People's knowledge, as well as historical reparation responsibility.
