Shadow ecologies of conservation: Co-production of salmon landscapes in Hokkaido, Japan, and southern Chile

Examining the linkages between environmental decline in Chile and environmental restoration in Japan, this article asks how geographically distant ecologies and species become intimately connected through political economic processes. By focusing on multispecies landscapes, rather than commodities, per se, it argues for additional attention to how the environments of “core” regions are affected by transnational trade. As it does so, it highlights a need to attend more carefully to the countryside-countryside connections that existing work on city-hinterland relations tends to miss.
