Women in Natural Resources

Women in Natural Resources refers to the increasing participation and leadership of women in fields related to environmental management, conservation, and resource development. This includes careers in forestry, wildlife management, water resources, and environmental science. Historically male-dominated, these fields now recognize the valuable perspectives and skills that women bring. Promoting gender diversity enhances decision-making processes and leads to more sustainable practices. Initiatives aimed at supporting women, providing mentorship, and addressing barriers contribute to a more equitable representation, which ultimately benefits both the environment and society.
