Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Cape York is a remote and biodiverse peninsula in northeastern Australia that has been inhabited by Aboriginal communities for thousands of years. Since colonization, much of the peninsula has been used for large scale cattle farming. It is also a place of global significance as the site of multiple environmentally protected bioregions, with ongoing efforts to recognize them as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Despite the very human role in shaping the landscape of Cape York, the region remains widely thought of as a wilderness to be conserved and protected. In this context, what counts as natural and native matters crucially--as does who gets to decide how species and people are categorized and, accordingly, how they are controlled.
