Based on her detailed field research in the Mende communities around Gola North Forest reserve, and surveying the recent debates and literature concerning forest conservations and current analytical approaches to gender and the environment, Melissa Leach examines the importance of rainforest resources to the local economy and social relations and shows that neither an understanding of forest use and change, nor adequate conservation policies can be achieved without a concern for gender. 410 0$aInternational African Library 606 $aForest reserves 606 $aRain forest conservation 606 $aMende (African people) 615 0$aForest reserves. 615 0$aRain forest conservation. 615 0$aMende (African people) 676 $a333.750973 700 $aLeach$b Melissa$0122180 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824860103321 996 $aRainforest relations$94020749 997 $aUNINA
