International Review of Environmental History: Volume 12, Issue 1, 2026

Description

This issue of the International Review of Environmental History is planted firmly in Asia and the Pacific, tracing the rise and politics of local environmental knowledge and place-making from the seventeenth century. Shifting cultures of disaster management along the Yangtze River and the sponsorship of post-colonial botany in Indonesia meet conservation tourism and arboreal remembrance in twentieth-century Aotearoa. Threaded through the contributions, the lives and afterlives of imperialism and colonialism gesture to the possibilities of environmental history for shedding light on the enduring role of the state in the mediation of culture, politics, and environmental change.
