Women play the key role in management and utilization of natural resources in general, and forest resources in particular. However, gender inequality in resource management is still common\u00a0in many places, especially in rural\u00a0areas – home of ethnic minority people.<\/p>\n

In order to promote gender equality in management and utilization of forest resources, since February to August 2015, PanNature has been conducting Project \u201cImprove role of ethnic women in forest management and their fair access to forest resources in Xuan Nha Nature Reserve, Son La province\u201d, with support from GREEN Mekong Challenge Fund.<\/p>\n
