Bioregionalism is an environmental movement that attempts to create decentralized, self‐determined communities connected to landscape and ecological features. Activists and scholars have used the phrase “becoming native” to describe the process of belonging to place. Despite its cultural appropriation, not only do bioregional writers still use the metaphor, but it has also been defended within religious studies. Instead of relying on these arguments to address ethical issues, claims to place need a decolonial framework. Looking at various voices within bioregionalism through Indigenous critiques displays both the movement’s issues as well as decolonial processes for local adaptation. Wendell Berry exemplifies the problems of bioregional ethics but also shows bioregionalism's capacity for decolonization.

生物区域主义的文化占有和对地方殖民伦理的需求

生物区域主义是一个环境运动，它试图创建与景观和生态特征相关的分散的，自我决定的社区。活动家和学者使用“成为本地人”这一短语来描述归属地的过程。尽管有文化专用性，但生物区域作家不仅使用了这个隐喻，而且在宗教研究中也为它辩护。代替依赖这些论点来解决道德问题，对场所的主张需要一个殖民主义的框架。通过土著批评看生物区域主义内部的各种声音，既显示了运动的问题，也体现了当地适应的殖民化过程。温德尔·贝里（Wendell Berry）举例说明了生物区域伦理学的问题，但同时也表明了生物区域主义的非殖民化能力。
