From communities rooted in place to transnational coalitions, this special feature applies concepts of collaborative care rooted in Indigenous knowledge systems to the field of environmental governance. We highlight restorative, liberatory practices rooted in caretaking ethics and reciprocal human-nature relations. Our approach also centers decision making by those most connected to a given resource and the sustenance it provides. Despite global extraction, dispossession, and other colonial legacies, these efforts build toward collective action and community self-determination, both through formal policy change and informal practices. Three facets of collaborative care in environmental governance are threaded through the special feature: (1) care in place, (2) care in power, and (3) care in commoning. These themes connect both Indigenous-led and allied scholarship from the United States to the Netherlands, Japan to Madagascar, and Aotearoa to Canada. Though diverse in their interests and challenges, the authors and communities featured in this research build toward collective action and community self-determination in caring for the places that are the source of collective abundance.

从扎根于当地的社区到跨国联盟，这一特色将植根于土著知识体系的协作护理概念应用到环境治理领域。我们强调植根于关怀伦理和互惠的人与自然关系的恢复性、解放性实践。我们的方法还以那些与特定资源及其提供的维持关系最密切的人为决策中心。尽管存在全球性的榨取、剥夺和其他殖民遗产，但这些努力通过正式的政策变革和非正式的实践，朝着集体行动和社区自决的方向发展。该专题贯穿了环境治理中协作关怀的三个方面：(1) 就地关怀，(2) 权力关怀，(3) 共同关怀。这些主题将原住民主导的学术和联盟学术联系起来，从美国到荷兰，从日本到马达加斯加，从新西兰到加拿大。尽管他们的兴趣和挑战各不相同，但本研究中的作者和社区致力于集体行动和社区自决，以照顾作为集体丰富来源的地方。
