Résumé

Practising conservation requires the continuous management of locations (and, in particular, of people and wildlife). The theme of location draws attention to multiple indigenous people, species, and experiences, thereby helping to expose the different interests at stake in national conservation plans. Yet, practising conservation, especially at the international level, is desirable to address complex sustainability problems, even though framing international conservation plans often triggers (1) concerns about the domination of the vulnerable by the powerful and (2) a call for decolonial conservation plans. In this article, I engage decolonial thought and situate it within Ubuntu’s lens of relationality and location. Situating conservation problems at the intersection of decolonial and ubuntu lenses helps offer solutions to global conservation problems.
