- Description
- This collection of largely unpublished case studies drawn from Latin America, Asia, Africa, Europe and North America aims to increase the understanding of the importance of women and gender relations in plant biodiversity management and conservation. It intends to provide a state-of-the-art overview of the concepts, relationships and contexts that help to explain the relatively hidden gender dimensions of people-plant relations. The volume covers the following broad areas: women, the domestic arena and plant conservation: gender relations, women's rights and plant management: gendered plant knowledge in science and society: plants, women's status and welfare: gender, biodiversity loss, and conservation.
