Abstract
This chapter explores the idea of depletion and anticipatory harm through examining the campaign of the Amadiba community to protect its everyday way of life in the Wild Coast region of South Africa. The members of the Amadiba communities anticipate harm, articulate it, resist it, and are also depleted by it. The deep connection between gender relations, ecologies and temporalities of depletion can be seen through people anticipating the harm to their communities and their life-worlds. The community pushes back against this threat, to generate a politics that aims to mitigate, replenish, and transform social relations. This story of anticipating harm provides an important lens to think through depletion as the costs of social reproduction and of resistance to the threat to the ecologies of communities.
