Civilizing Natures as well as Terrall's "Heroic Narratives of Quest and Discovery" made me think of the rhetoric found in this portion of the WWF website. This could be a productive site for my final which will explore a feminist postcolonial critique of western narratives of conservation: How does approaching conservation through the framework of "priority places" and "ecoregions" engage colonial legacies about responsible land management and resource use? How does the rhetoric here situate biodiversity as a resource that is most productively managed by western ideas about conservation?
