Mission
Decol’s mission is to transform ecological scholarship by centering intersectional justice, decolonial critique, and Indigenous and local epistemologies. The journal seeks to cultivate a vibrant intellectual space where scholars, activists, and community practitioners engage in rigorous, creative, and transformative dialogue about ecological futures.
Vision
Decol envisions a world where ecological knowledge is grounded in relational, community-based, and land-based understandings of life; where scholarly inquiry resists colonial, extractive, and oppressive systems; and where diverse bodies, identities, and worlds can thrive. The journal aspires to become a leading platform for Global South–centered, justice-oriented ecological research.
