“…In every one of these activities the job of ladies is by all accounts especially significant (Xiao & Hong, 2010). Numerous logical examinations have been directed researching the relationship of sex to cooperation in ecological activities (Uçar & Canpolat, 2019;Zelezny, Chua, & Aldrich, 2000), just as other investigate considers concentrating on every day home vitality sparing practices e.g., (Carlsson-Kanyama & Lindén, 2007;Räty & Carlsson-Kanyama, 2010). Albeit a few examinations have discovered no sex contrasts in ecological practices (Blankenau, Snowden, & Langan, 2007), most investigations presume that ladies have a more significant level of ecological conduct than men (Lee, 2009;Torgler, Garcia, & Macintyre, 2008).…”

Aim: This paper seeks to demonstrate how local women's community-based entrepreneurial activities have enhanced the management and conservation of Kakamega Forest. Past studies showed that Kakamega Forest in western Kenya faced rapid deforestation. Local people are often blamed for this problem. However, this paper argues that local people have traditionally played important roles in sustaining the forest environment. Method: A questionnaire survey was administered to 149 women who belonged to various entrepreneurial/conservation groups called chamas near this forest. Findings: We found that many of these women found opportunities to earn more income from forest conservation activities. For example, about 58% of the respondents were involved in the cultivation and domestication of indigenous/medicinal plants that they harvested from the forest. These activities led to the conservation of indigenous species and, at the same time, eased ecological pressure on the limited forest resources. Also, about 19% of the respondents were involved in making eco-friendly jikos or cooking stoves for business purposes. This effort reduced fuelwood harvesting from the forest. Implications/Novel Contribution: The novel contribution of this research is that it seeks to investigate how women's community-based entrepreneurial activities have enhanced the management and conservation of Kakamega Forest. As we do not yet know to what extent women networking and entrepreneurial activities have contributed to forest conservation.

“…Among the goals of sustainable development is the need to step up efforts to protect and preserve cultural heritage. It recognizes cultural diversity and promotes the view that all cultures and cultures can contribute to the achievement of sustainable development (Uçar & Canpolat, 2019). The perspective of culture can help rede ine our goals and approaches by integrating cultural diversity issues into sustainable development (Tilbury & Mulà, 2009).…”

“…Within this context, women actively protecting tradition by continuing it and creating works of high cultural value, contribute signi icantly to the cultural dimension of sustainability, thereby necessitating the emergence of their important cultural sustainable work . According to data from scienti ic research investigating the relationship of gender to participation in environmental actions (Uçar & Canpolat, 2019;Zelezny, Chua, & Aldrich, 2000). It is found that women have higher level of environmentally friendly behavior compared to men (Torgler, Garcia-Valiñas, & Macintyre, 2008;Lee, 2009), although some studies have found that there are no gender differences in environmental behavior (Blankenau, Snowden, & Langan, 2007).…”

Within the global scienti ic community and international political scene, the necessity of a development that takes seriously into account environmental protection, social cohesion and cultural progress is increasingly highlighted. In this context, the present study aims to explore the role of women over time in local sustainable development, in a Greek island, Rhodes. The present research is qualitative. A semi-structured interview is the data collection tool which is structured on the basis of the four interrelated axes of sustainability: economic, social, cultural and environmental. The research sample is composed of women from the city and all the villages of Rhodes, aged over 65, as the research focuses on the middle of the last century. The results of the survey show that women's participation has been particularly important in the economic development of the island, as they have helped signi icantly in the rural work, along with housework. Moreover, their role as mothers in supporting the family institution has been fundamental, while at the same time they have been mostly involved in training and bringing up children. Their involvement in the local customs was discreet, although they offered exceptional works of art, loom, embroidery and other creations that decorated the houses. With regard to the environment, their habits were environmentally friendly. In their yards they had lowers and trees, and they cultivated vegetables without fertilizers in their gardens. They were also giving the excess food to pets or domestic animals and the garbage from their housework was scarce. Generally, they have made a decisive contribution to the sustainable development of the island.

“…Para educar hacia los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible (SDGs), los enfoques centrados en las personas, orientados a la acción y transformadores, representan la forma más eficiente de capacitar a los estudiantes para un comportamiento proambiental en su diario accionar (Saldaña-Almazán, et al, 2020). Una alternativa directa de promover el comportamiento proambiental dentro del ámbito educativo es aquella que involucra el modelamiento de dicha conducta por parte de figuras de autoridad que sean respetadas y admiradas, tales como padres y profesores (Djuwita & Benyamin, 2022;Jia & Yu, 2021;Uçar & Canpolat, 2019).…”

Las crisis profundas que amenazan el bienestar y la existencia, podrían sensibilizar a las personas y conducirlas al desarrollo de comportamientos más solidarios, especialmente con la naturaleza. Durante la cuarentena por COVID-19, la educación remota favoreció el acercamiento de profesores y alumnos, al compartir espacios personales a través de las videollamadas. Derivado de lo anterior, la presente investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar cuál es la influencia que tienen los comportamientos proambientales del profesor como modelo, sobre sus alumnos después de una capacitación en psicología ambiental. Para evaluar este efecto, se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, transeccional de alcance correlacional a 33 estudiantes universitarios con edades entre 19 y 24 años (M=21.69; DE=1.70), 19 mujeres y 14 hombres, elegidos a conveniencia, a quienes se les aplicaron las escalas de conductas proambientales (alfa = 0.70) y la de expectativa de comportamiento ambiental de otros (alfa = 0.77), a través de un formulario de Google. Los resultados indican valores altos de conducta proambiental propia e intermedios en las expectativas de comportamiento proambiental del docente. Además, se encontró una correlación significativa de tipo positiva entre las variables (p <.001, r =.54). Como conclusión, se puede afirmar que, a mayor expectativa de comportamiento proambiental de los profesores desde la percepción de los estudiantes, mayor es su conducta proambiental adquirida, lo que podría significar un desafío para las instituciones universitarias y un compromiso para lograr que la educación ambiental indirecta, muestre los resultados esperados para el cumplimiento de las metas ambientales de la agenda pública.
