In this article we draw on recent debates in ecology and human geography on the project of decolonising academic practice. Our objective is to address two key questions via a generative discussion across disciplines: what can ecologists learn from ongoing debates in human geography? And how might those learnings translate back into geographical praxis? We make the central argument that vibrant debates in human geography can push ecologists to take more radical steps towards a decolonial vision that, in turn, can guide geographers to a more material decolonising praxis. We build this argument by working through various dis/connections—between ecology/human geography, theory/praxis, South/North—in the wider project of decolonising academia to provoke critical reflection around the themes of (i) language and publishing; (ii) collaboration and ‘inclusion’; and (iii) the geographies of ecological research.

去殖民化生态研究：北半球地理学家和南半球野外生态学家之间的生成性讨论

在本文中，我们借鉴了生态学和人文地理学领域最近关于非殖民化学术实践项目的争论。我们的目标是通过跨学科的生成性讨论来解决两个关键问题：生态学家可以从人文地理学的持续争论中学到什么？这些经验如何转化为地理实践？我们提出的中心论点是，人文地理学中充满活力的辩论可以推动生态学家采取更激进的步骤来实现非殖民化愿景，而这反过来又可以引导地理学家进行更物质的非殖民化实践。我们通过在更广泛的非殖民化学术界项目中解决生态学/人文地理学、理论/实践、南/北之间的各种脱节/联系来构建这一论点，以引发围绕以下主题的批判性反思：（i）语言和出版；(ii) 合作和“包容”；(iii) 生态研究的地理。
