In Decolonizing Extinction Juno Salazar Parrenas ethnographically
traces the ways in which colonialism, decolonization, and
indigeneity shape relations that form more-than-human worlds at
orangutan rehabilitation centers on Borneo. Parrenas tells the
interweaving stories of wildlife workers and the centers'
endangered animals while demonstrating the inseparability of risk
and futurity from orangutan care. Drawing on anthropology,
primatology, Southeast Asian history, gender studies, queer theory,
and science and technology studies, Parrenas suggests that
examining workers' care for these semi-wild apes can serve as a
basis for cultivating mutual but unequal vulnerability in an era of
annihilation. Only by considering rehabilitation from perspectives
thus far ignored, Parrenas contends, could conservation biology
turn away from ultimately violent investments in population growth
and embrace a feminist sense of welfare, even if it means
experiencing loss and pain.
