Despite the importance of forests for global processes and the tradition of forest management by local Amazonian peoples, there is not much available literature on gender and forests in the Amazon region. Yet gender roles and relationships are important components of key emerging forest-related issues, such as climate change and the differential risks and opportunities faced by women and men in different contexts. This paper reviews recent literature (in English, Spanish and Portuguese) that addresses gender and forests in Amazonia, focusing on: property rights in Amazonian territories and communities; diverse and changing gender relations; forest management programs; and womens participation in social movements and organizations. The review finds significant historical, sociocultural and material barriers to gender equity and to womens full participation in sustainable management of Amazonian forests, and a relative lack of focus on gender in forest management programs, despite promising examples. The most important finding was that, over the past two decades, women from different Amazonian social groups have become increasingly organized, enhancing their rights, levels of participation and empowerment. More research is needed to understand the variability of gender relations and rights in different Amazonian contexts, and how they are changing. Research is also needed to understand and support efforts to improve gender equity in rights to resources and income and participation in key community and societal decisions on the future of Amazonian forests and their peoples.

A logger, a farmer’s wife, two church painters, and two funeral directors find their paths merging at the crossroads of life. A young man learning lessons from the School of Hard Knocks, a man encountering his long-deceased father’s friend while getting a haircut, and Forrest Gump’s question to his mother – “What’s my destiny?” – are all examined in this work. They all tell their stories through the eyes and ears of a seasoned reporter, preacher, and philosopher. Take a journey through the eye of a needle and witness the pain, anguish, agony, and joys of life through the eyes of someone who has made such a trip and survived to tell his story. Under the Canopy is a series of short stories, personal events, muses and memories, religion, and philosophy that provides a glimpse into the extraordinary calamities and celebrations of ordinary and mundane lives.

What most people don't know is that there is a whole other forest growing high in the canopy of a redwood forest. This adaptation of The House That Jack Built climbs into this secret, hidden habitat full of all kinds of plants and animals that call this forest home."--Publisher's description.
