by Vijaya Gupta, Mumbai Neelima Naik, Mumbai Meenal Shrivastava
Interdisciplinary Environmental Review (IER), Vol. 6, No. 2, 2004

Abstract: For centuries, women around the world have been the source of indigenous knowledge to preserve and protect natural resources. However, society has continued to neglect this productive role of women in the conservation of the environment. This paper provides a preliminary map of the extent of Indian women's vulnerability to environmental degradation associated with resources such as water, agricultural, forests, energy, etc. It also attempts to record and discuss the contributions of women, the Indian government, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and other agencies towards environmental protection as well as other issues linking women and the environment.
