“…Rather than trying to catch up with recent trends, environmental historians of Latin America have forged ahead considering the intertwined social and environmental dimensions of the human past and their implications for just and unjust arrangements of power. 11 Latin American environmental historians have been sensitive to writing the history of people's relationship to the natural world using the terms and concepts Latin Americans themselves have used to frame environmental concerns rather than ideas currently in vogue in the US. The result is a formidable literature on justice using the environment as a unifying concept of investigation.…”

“…Reconsidering the non‐human animal offers a real opportunity for new kinds of environmental‐medical global histories which particularly consider the movement of global commodities (Chakrabarty, 2009). Staying with place , as one major critique of mainstream Environmental History is its inability to reframe the dominant North American story as part of an international narrative (Lekan, 2005; Sutter, 2003), here is a useful point to work with History of Medicine, not only in bioprospecting but also in the broader nexus of works that tie racism, colonialism, trade, and the prioritisation of ‘Western’ principles together in (capitalist) moments of exploitation and intervention. For example, there are the ambiguous and problematic narratives of rhino poaching for the ‘traditional Chinese medicine’ market, which are critiqued in very different ways to the exploitation of resources to produce foods for European consumers or products for Western medicine (Takeshita, 2000).…”
