This publication is a review of approaches, resources and methods for addressing gender issue in forestry. It cannot be considered truly comprehensive – but rather provides a sufficient range of methodologies from which users can choose those appropriate to their resources and needs. A number of methodological recommendations is also included. Methods have been cathegorised based on the availability of resources, and on the kinds of hopes/uses researchers have for their findings. It was assumed that all researchers/readers seek to improve forest management, to enhance both the health of the environment and the well being, even empowerment, of the people who live in and near it.
