“…Habitat conservation and biodiversity maintenance. Generally speaking, most studies reviewed conclude that women had greater awareness of, were more willing to contribute their time to, or considered habitat conservation and biodiversity maintenance more importantly compared to men (Briceno and Ravera, 2016;Gao et al, 2014;Mensah et al, 2017;Mudaca et al, 2015;Palliwoda et al, 2017;Swapan et al, 2017;Yang et al, 2010;Zoderer et al, 2016a,b). This conclusion was true for all ecosystem types: forest/agroforestry, waterbodies, mangroves and marine areas.…”

a b s t r a c tWomen and men often have differential access to and derive different benefits from ecosystem services; therefore, their perception and knowledge of ecosystem services also differ. Understanding these differences is critical to ensuring that policies aimed at enhancing access to and use of ecosystem services can provide benefits to all genders. We conducted a systematic review of studies that aim to understand the relationship between gender and ecosystem service perceptions to summarize research from this emerging topic and to identify patterns between gender and ecosystem service perceptions from different case studies. The results show that highly gendered ecosystem services include medicinal products from forest or mangrove ecosystems and freshwater supply. Women have a stronger perception of water quality and erosion control, soil formation, habitat conservation and sustaining biodiversity. Men, on the other hand, had more knowledge of fuel and timber and extreme event mitigation services. Our review also identifies the limitations of sample size for this interdisciplinary topic, calls for more case studies and comparative studies to identify relationships between gender and ecosystem service perceptions, and calls for the development of models on ecosystem services that incorporate gender. Finally, we discuss how our review can augment existing gender frameworks for policymaking.

“…This was illustrated by some respondents' explanatory comments, such as the project supervisor who suggested that gender issues are not relevant to projects concerned with specific wildlife species or to climate change. The respondent was not aware of the growing literature related to genderbased aspects of human-wildlife conflict (e.g., Treves et al 2006;Ogra 2008;Yang et al 2010;Campbell and Alvarado 2011) or climate change (e.g., Cutter 1995;Denton 2002;UNCSW 2008;Terry 2009). Increased levels of collaboration in scholarship and research between wildlife biologists and social scientists could help to address this research gap.…”

“…One study in India found gender-based inequities in terms of differentiated vulnerability to attack by wild animals including elephants and leopards, leading women to sustain disproportionate rates of deaths or injuries as compared to men (Ogra 2008). Many studies have found that women and men often hold significantly different views about the importance of wildlife or how conservation should be undertaken at the local level (Kellert and Berry 1987;Hill 1998;Kuriyan 2002;Bauer 2003;Martino 2008;Campbell 2009;Yang et al 2010).…”

Gender and community-oriented wildlife conservation: views from project supervisors in India

Many international agreements, such as the 1992 UN Convention on Biological Diversity, posit that successful community-oriented (community-based) wildlife conservation depends on partnerships with stakeholders of different class, ethnicity, and gender. Gender is of particular interest because it often relates to environmental use, attitudes, and knowledge and operates across other key categories. This study uses fieldwork, interviews, and a survey of 52 project heads in India to address two research questions: (1) How are gender issues viewed by supervisors of community-based wildlife conservation projects, in relation to their work? (2) What types of resources would be most useful to project heads seeking to promote gender equity through their conservation work? The results suggest that while there is widespread support for integrating gender equity issues into communityoriented wildlife conservation, many believe that gender may be a potentially distracting and secondary issue. Several reasons for the variation in views were identified including the following: the dearth of relevant empirical research about gender issues in wildlife conservation; ambiguities about the concept of gender itself; and a lack of opportunities to critically discuss the role of gender equity issues for conservation. These factors may contribute to a disconnection between international rhetoric and on-the-ground practice as it relates to gender and community-oriented wildlife conservation. Increased opportunities for professional capacity building among project supervisors and staff members, coupled with increased collaboration between social and natural scientists, will be important for strengthening the links between international conservation policy and on-the-ground practice.Readers should send their comments on this paper to BhaskarNath@aol.com within 3 months of publication of this issue.

Problems of the human–animal relationship in China are associated with imperfect legal protection. Few recent studies in English have focused on the entire legislation framework for wildlife protection, or paid sufficient attention to revision of the Wildlife Protection Law of China. This study aims to provide a review of the legislation pertinent to the overall framework of wildlife protection in China, thus making the legislative framework understood by a broader audience. We present various legal documents of national, local, and international level—including the Constitution, national laws, national administrative regulations and departmental rules, and local regulations and rules, all selected for their direct and close relation to wildlife protection. We then discuss the challenges of internal defects in the legislation for wildlife protection and problems of coordination between the laws—including the lack of stipulation on the definition of wildlife, the narrow scope of the legal protection of wildlife, the incomplete stipulation on the property rights of wildlife, the imperfect stipulation on wildlife utilization, the relatively limited protection system of wildlife habitats, and the relatively vague damage compensation caused by wildlife protection, with an emphasis on revisions of the Wildlife Protection Law of China in 2016. In conclusion, we draw wider implications for the legal protection of wildlife in China, arguing for a more sustainable human–animal relationship.
