土著知识是一个多层次的知识体系，可以有效地管理全球生态系统和生物多样性保护。保护是一门应用学科，其目标是保护世界生物多样性和生态系统。然而，定居者-殖民者保护做法往往未能充分检查定居者-殖民者认识论是如何以牺牲土著保护实践为代价的。评估非土著视角的保护做法如何变得更具包容性和公正，是一个关键的研究和反思领域。我们利用自己作为早期研究人员的经验，通过讨论对一个地方来说意味着什么，致力于采用反殖民主义、公正和包容的方法来保护科学和实践。我们认为，一位代表地方的非土著保育人士倡导与土著人民和其他边缘化社区进行包容性管理，以保护物种和生态系统，以及将社区与其景观联系在一起的联系。作为定居者-殖民者保护从业者如何成为一个地方的一个例子，我们讨论了2019年代表保护生物学协会撰写一份政策声明，反对在夏威夷莫纳克亚山顶建造30米望远镜。我们描述了我们政策声明背后的思想过程，并为保护研究人员和从业者为一个地方工作提供了其他行动的例子。我们的目标是为我们的同事，特别是那些接受过定居者-殖民者保护做法培训的人，提供一个机会，为我们渴望保护的地方确定更公正的做法。
Indigenous knowledge is a multilayered knowledge system that can effectively manage global ecosystem and biodiversity conservation. Conservation is an applied discipline with the goal of preserving the world's biodiversity and ecosystems. However, settler–coloniser conservation practices often fail to fully examine how settler–coloniser epistemologies are centred at the expense of Indigenous conservation praxis. Evaluating how conservation practices outside of an Indigenous lens can become more inclusive and just is a critical area for research and reflection. We draw on our own experiences as early-career researchers working towards anticolonial, just and inclusive approaches to conservation science and practice by discussing what it means to be for a Place. We believe that a non-Indigenous conservationist who is for a Place advocates for inclusive stewardship with Indigenous Peoples and other marginalised communities to conserve species and ecosystems and the connections that bind communities to their landscapes. As an example of how settler–coloniser conservation practitioners can be for a Place, we discuss writing a policy statement in 2019 on behalf of the Society for Conservation Biology opposing the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope on the summit of Mauna Kea, Hawai‘i. We describe the thought process behind our policy statement and provide examples of other actions for conservation researchers and practitioners working to be for a Place. We aim to provide our colleagues, particularly those trained in settler–coloniser conservation practices, an opportunity to identify more just practices for the Places we aspire to conserve.
