We want to celebrate it by showing stories about different women in forestry worldwide.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forestry sector is key to many countries’ economic, environmental, and social development, and women play a fundamental role. Women contribute significantly to the growth of this sector (formally and informally). They represent a significant portion of the workforce in the forestry industry (from nursery work to wood processing), are leaders in many research processes, and have extensive knowledge in biodiversity and forest management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this work has often been invisibilized. In some areas, their salaries and working conditions are lower than men’s. Also, gender inclusion policies have not been promoted in the forestry sector of many countries, increasing this gap. For this reason:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
