Decolonizing Ecology: Design for Eco-State in Bangladesh
Abstract
This paper seeks to analyse the ecological problems of Bangladesh. The underlying reasons beneath the genealogical problems of ecological crises in Bangladesh are significantly connected with the legacy of colonial governmentality. This investigation discusses how marine, river, forestland, and urban ecosystems have been colonized in the Bengal Delta. It also critically investigates the impact of colonizing ecology. Colonization has crucial effects on the ecosystem. It is impossible to establish ecological justice without dealing with these problems. Our perceptions of history, progress and development are still influenced by colonial knowledge/power. As a problem-solving method of ecological crises, this paper suggests recommendations for an eco-state in Bangladesh.
