Examining the connections between geontologic and interrelational theories of place counter-mapping practices offers important methodological and pedagogic lessons in environmental sustainability education. Notably, the cultural counter-mapping undertaken by BIPOC women can educate on how cardinal ethics and mapping underpin ecological learning. Using Elizabeth Povinelli's geontologies, Rosi Braidotti's post-human knowledge, and Felix Guattari's three ecologies, in relation-with concepts of interrelationality in BIPOC scholarship: specifically, belonging (bell hooks, Aileen Moreton-Robinson), and the kinstillatory (Emily Johnson and Karyn Recollet) the article proposes how interrelational theories and geontologies reside in such scholarship and are central to environmental and sustainability learning. The article then exemplifies the impacts of BIPOC counter-mapping practices on environmental sustainability education through a research-creation project into the devastating ecological effects of the 2019/2020 Australian bushfires. Using the concept of cardinal ethics and a methodological protocol called inefficient mapping, the project, called Mapping Extinction, generates counter-mappings of emergent data into the 'red list' of Australian biodiversity facing dangerous levels of depletion after the fires. The article describes the guidance and learning offered by BIPOC women's counter-mapping in theorising ecological knowledge in the Anthropocene.
