About this product
Wickranasinghe's research shows how women use the forests, and what their interest is in protecting it. Using two detailed village case studies, she explores historical trends that have led to deforestation and women's loss of control over resources in Sri Lanka. She goes on to examine the present day structure, polices and strategies of the state forestry sector, particulary concentrating on timber production. The author ends by arguing that rural women are the potential planners and designers of forestry development, and could change what she calls the present negative situation.
