At this roundtable convened by the Bonn Center for Dependency and Slavery Studies (BCDSS) at the University of Bonn, bicc researcher Marie Müller-Koné discusses, alongside other experts from ZEF/Global Heritage Lab, BICC, and BCDSS, the historical and contemporary impacts of extractivism across various global contexts and natural resources. Key topics for discussion include the violent colonial origins of resource extraction, current conflicts and their consequences for local communities, and potential pathways for the future. Marie focuses on the example of conservation extractivism in Mau Forest, Kenya, based on research conducted within the framework of Violent Futures? Contestations along the Frontiers.
