Bioregional decolonization

Bioregional decolonization combines philosophies of both bioregionalism and decolonization to describe the process in which a bioregionally defined population breaks from the dominant debt-based industrial capitalist/neo-liberal/globalized society to restore interdependency between all living things and life-sustaining systems within a bioregion. Human inhabitants move to a local production-based society and away from a global consumption-based society. Production is based on meeting local and regional needs in an environmentally and socially recuperative way.
Interdependence restores healthy relationships between human, non-human life forms, and non-living systems that support all life.
This process is heavily rooted in the principles of deep ecology.
Cascadia, a bioregion in what is commonly known as the Pacific Northwest of North America currently hosts a movement working to make it the first bioregion to undergo successful bioregional decolonization of all human inhabitants.
