    • Abstract:
      The article argues that the application of ecological imperialism as an explanation for New World environment change should not be limited to temperate regions where the process was so spectacularly successful in Canada. Using the Canadian North as a broad regional template, the author's analysis suggests that consideration of both the failures and the limited successes of ecological imperialism are critical to a more complete understanding of global colonialism. Ecological imperialism need not be conceptualized solely as an all-encompassing process of biological transformation.
