Abstract
This is the third special issue of the IJCJSD seeking to engage in global Green Criminological Dialogues, previously presenting ‘Voices from the Americas and Europe’ (Goyes et al, 2019) and then ‘Voices from Asia’ (Goyes et al, 2022). The focus for this collection is Africa, a continent of enormous diversity—in Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (hereafter IPLCs), environments, non-human species, and resources—that has fuelled the dynamics of exploitation, conflict, crimes, and harm for centuries.
