Environmental degradation is emerging as a major policy concern in Kenya; the first casualties of it are women whose tasks involve them in continous interaction with natural resources. This book argues that women play an important role as environmental managers, for example in food production and conservation of soil, water, forests and wildlife. Their involvement, however, has not been adequately reflected in legislation, policies and programmes dealing with environment and development. The authors stress that efforts to achieve sustainable development are not likely to succeed unless they take into account this factor. (DÜI-Hff)
