    There is growing awareness across many branches of science of the need to decolonize research practices and curricula (Aikenhead, 2006; Radcliffe, 2017), and the fields of ecology and conservation are no exception (Baker et al., 2019). Although conservation scientists and practitioners from the Global North are gradually waking up to the fact that local knowledge and agency––including that of Indigenous people––are essential for social justice and to achieving conservation outcomes, the road to decolonizing conservation science remains a long one (Baker et al., 2019). As a discipline, conservation has a long colonial history and remains heavily dominated by institutions in the Global North when it comes to publications, funding, and research networks (Maas et al., 2021)
