Climate Change Impacts on Gender Relations in Bangladesh : Socio-environmental Struggle of the Shora Forest Community in the Sundarbans Mangrove Forest Paperback / softback
by Sajal Roy
Part of the SpringerBriefs in Environment, Security, Development and Peace series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book explores gendered perceptions of the Sundarbans Forest in Bangladesh, and the extent to which these perceptions are affected by extreme weather events (specifically, cyclones Aila and Sidr).
Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Shora, a rural village in southern Satkhira, Bangladesh, the book explores gendered activities in the forest, especially women’s interaction with the forest resources.
The findings present a clear picture of the Shora community’s local knowledge about the Sundarbans Forest, as well as the ecological and economic contributions for the forest people.
The book makes a timely contribution to the wider study of gender, post-cyclone recovery, ecology and resilience.
