Book Synopsis Gender and Forests by : Carol J. Pierce Colfer
Download or read book Gender and Forests written by Carol J. Pierce Colfer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This enlightening book brings together the work of gender and forestry specialists from various backgrounds and fields of research and action to analyse global gender conditions as related to forests. Using a variety of methods and approaches, they build on a spectrum of theoretical perspectives to bring depth and breadth to the relevant issues and address timely and under-studied themes. Focusing particularly on tropical forests, the book presents both local case studies and global comparative studies from Africa, Asia, and Latin America, as well as the US and Europe. The studies range from personal histories of elderly American women’s attitudes toward conservation, to a combined qualitative / quantitative international comparative study on REDD+, to a longitudinal examination of oil palm and gender roles over time in Kalimantan. Issues are examined across scales, from the household to the nation state and the global arena; and reach back to the past to inform present and future considerations. The collection will be of relevance to academics, researchers, policy makers and advocates with different levels of familiarity with gender issues in the field of forestry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation explores the impacts of participatory conservation on gender structure in the Mamirauá Sustainable Development Reserve (MSDR), Amazonas, Brazil. Generally, I am concerned with the social consequences of conservation initiatives for protected area residents-to what extent the participatory model is equitable for local people, particularly sub-groups such as women, and how gender hierarchies are affected by program participation. Using ethnographic and other qualitative methods, I investigate the transformation and reproduction of gender relations by analyzing how conservation initiatives shift the gender division of labor, empower women, and impact family and community organization. This study shows that participatory conservation projects, which introduce or reinforce exogenous institutions and cultural ideologies such as a cash economy, wage labor, democratic representation, organized civic engagement, and egalitarian ideology, create fundamental, unintended shifts in local social organization. These changes have important implications for human well-being and equality as well as long-term social and environmental sustainability. My findings show that gender relations are shifted in a more egalitarian direction as women engage in new economic activities, create political space, and interact with outside social carriers, yet, in many ways, traditional gender relations, including norms and hierarchies, are reproduced. Programs remain focused on a traditional gender division of labor, reinforce cultural expectations regarding women's responsibility as the main providers of child care for dependent children, and do not address barriers to women's participation and leadership at the social-relational level, i.e., within marriages and families-both primary production sites of gender inequality. The changes in social organization produced through sustainable development and conservation projects cannot be ignored from a conservation perspective, as these shifts affect the ability of women, potentially a strong source of conservation support, to participate as conservationists and active natural resource managers. Last, the introduction and reinforcement of these modern institutions creates such fundamental shifts in social organization that the prospects for long-term sustainability of the Sustainable Development Reserve (SDR) model are questionable. Examples of concerning changes include shifts in household structure and the attenuation of family cohesion as men and women leave their communities for days and weeks at a time for paid labor in conservation-related jobs; decreased agricultural production; a decline in communal traditions of labor reciprocity resulting from the loss of available adult workers within the household and community; loss of intergenerational knowledge regarding natural resource use and traditional economic activities; as well as shifts in livelihood and material aspirations among younger generations.

Book Synopsis Gender Equality and Sustainable Development by : Melissa Leach
Download or read book Gender Equality and Sustainable Development written by Melissa Leach and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-30 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For pathways to be truly sustainable and advance gender equality and the rights and capabilities of women and girls, those whose lives and well-being are at stake must be involved in leading the way. Gender Equality and Sustainable Development calls for policies, investments and initiatives in sustainable development that recognize women’s knowledge, agency and decision-making as fundamental. Four key sets of issues - work and industrial production; population and reproduction; food and agriculture, and water, sanitation and energy provide focal lenses through which these challenges are considered. Perspectives from new feminist political ecology and economy are integrated, alongside issues of rights, relations and power. The book untangles the complex interactions between different dimensions of gender relations and of sustainability, and explores how policy and activism can build synergies between them. Finally, this book demonstrates how plural pathways are possible; underpinned by different narratives about gender and sustainability, and how the choices between these are ultimately political. This timely book will be of great interest to students, scholars, practitioners and policy makers working on gender, sustainable development, development studies and ecological economics.

Book Synopsis Gender Participation in Forest Resource Management by : Thị Hồng Vân Nguyễn
Download or read book Gender Participation in Forest Resource Management written by Thị Hồng Vân Nguyễn and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book aims to assess how the Co Tu peoples, an ethnic minority living in the central region of Vietnam, benefit from participation in a benefit sharing mechanism which allows legal collection of non-timber forest products inside special use forests. The research also examines social and cultural influences which impact on cultural harvesting and gender relations in the commune and households, particularly in regards to local rights and roles in harvesting the products. The results indicate that benefits from collecting non-timber forest products after introduction of the benefit sharing mechanism were insignificant when compared with before its introduction. Furthermore, development activities under the benefit sharing mechanism did not have any impact on local people, in terms of diversification of livelihood strategies, nor did it increase household income. Women, in particular, faced limitations in participating in the benefit sharing mechanism's program, as a result of strong customary laws within their ethnic group. However, the benefit sharing mechanism did increase women's knowledge on equal rights and roles in access to and control over forest resources, and their sense of responsibility in forest management and conservation"--Back cover.
