After Extraction: Human and Environmental Recovery

Peru, Spain, United Kingdom, the Philippines, Australia, South Africa

By immersing myself in post-extractive communities, I will explore the emerging realities at post-extractive sites, complicating my assumptions about extractivism and restoration.
