The colonial system disrupted the harmony that existed between humans and nature in pre-colonial Africa by colonizing both, thereby causing a divide between them. On the basis of Isa 11:6-9, R. argues in this article that human freedom is intertwined with that of nature. African humans are not free as long as Africa's wildlife remains colonized. Thus, decolonialization remains incomplete as long as the colonial power matrix that divides African humans from nature persists. [Adapted from published abstract: Christopher T.
