Conservation generally benefits from spectacles of protecting 'loved others', i.e., those inspiring a human desire for their continued existence, rather than 'unloved others', i.e., those disregarded, disliked or targeted for death. We juxtapose conservation dynamics related to unloved others with…

This article complicates the dominant narratives of territorial conflicts between indigenous communities and mestizo campesinos in Nicaragua's Bosawas Biosphere Reserve. I suggest that the framing of these conflicts as "interethnic" obscures how class and space shape the multiple, intersectional…
