Women and Natural Resource Management

Women play a vital role in managing natural resources like water, forests, and land, especially in many communities where they are primary users and caregivers of these resources. Their knowledge and practices contribute to sustainable management and conservation. Empowering women through education, rights, and involvement ensures better resource use, reduces environmental degradation, and promotes community well-being. Recognizing women’s contributions helps create more effective, inclusive, and resilient natural resource strategies that benefit both the environment and local populations.
