This work aims to raise awareness of the significance of the relationship between the expansion of empire and the environmental experience of the extra-European world. It provides a comparative historical approach to the impact of humankind on the ecological systems on which settler societies were ultimately based. It also explores the way in which the science of ecology itself was an artefact of empire.
