Why does gender bias persist in natural resource management policies and programmes, despite increasing recognition of rural and tribal women`s contribution to conservation and sustainability?
Examining this question from the perspective of an academic and a practitioner, Sumi Krishna looks at diverse areas including the socialization of attitudes, the shaping of community ideologies, and the construction of disciplines and research methodologies.
The author advances the novel concept of `genderscapes` to reflect the totality of women`s lifeworlds to revision natural resource management in complex landscapes. Rich case studies unravel the caring practices of forest-dwellers, women`s knowledge of biodiversity, their responsibility for farming and food production.
