Abstract

[Extract] Sociocultural norms shape people’s roles, responsibilities and knowledge related to the use, conservation and management of natural resources. This results in variation, both across and within the contexts of different people’s needs, priorities and concerns, and how they respond to, and are affected by, conservation and resource management (Gurney et al. 2015). Such heterogeneity exists, to varying degrees, everywhere and is experienced across many societal divisions, including gender. Women, men and gender minorities have differentiated experiences in terms of access to, benefits from, and control over natural resources and spaces, with substantial inequalities existing in many contexts (Baker-Médard 2017; Lawless et al. 2019).
