With environmental change and conservation in West Africa's tropical rainforests becoming topics of increasing political and academic interest, this book brings a fresh set of perspectives to the debate - those of the forest dwellers themselves. Based on her detailed field research in the Mende communities around Gola North Forest reserve, and surveying the recent debates and literature concerning forest conservations and current analytical approaches to gender and the environment, Melissa Leach examines the importance of rainforest resources to the local economy and social relations and shows that neither an understanding of forest use and change, nor adequate conservation policies can be achieved without a concern for gender.

Espace strategique de l'economie canadienne, la forêt publique est, on le sait, geree par les provinces et par les grandes entreprises forestieres. Pourtant, elle abrite aussi plus de 300 communautes dites "dependantes de la forêt", qui peuvent elles aussi aspirer à participer à la gouvernance de la forêt. À partir des exemples du Quebec (regions de la Capitale-Nationale et de l'Outaouais) ainsi que du Nouveau-Brunswick (region de Madawaska-Restigouche), l'ouvrage explore les façons dont ces communautes reussissent à s'inserer dans les politiques forestieres. L'analyse interroge leur capacite locale d'action, c'est-à-dire leur affirmation comme des territoires à part entiere, dans des logiques sectorielles d'action publique. Les chapitres reunis ici permettent ainsi une lecture "par le bas" des politiques forestieres dans deux provinces canadiennes, completant une litterature plutôt centree sur le poids determinant des marches internationaux et des regimes forestiers provinciaux.
