Women and youth play a key role as environmental defenders and are often at the frontline of defending their land against extractive activities such as oil exploration and mining. They are also essential for their households and communities’ food production, gathering medicinal plants and water and the sustainable use of natural resources. They also safeguard and transfer much of the traditional knowledge about nature.
The stories of key speakers Carmen Miranda (President at Savia Bolivia) and Freddie Kalibwani (Resource Mobilization Manager at ECOTRUST in Uganda) were followed by an engaging discussion. The session was moderated by Frederique Holle, gender focal point at IUCN NL.
