Gender Equity in Model Forests: Advances and Challenges in Landscape Governance
Integrated landscape management in Latin America faces structural challenges that disproportionately impact women, youth, and Indigenous peoples. For over 20 years, the Latin American Network of Model Forests (RLABM), a partner of Initiative 20x20 , has learned that gender equity is a key factor for the sustainability of territories and landscape restoration.In this blog, we explore how gender inequality persists in landscape governance, access to resources, and decision-making in Model Forests in Peru and Guatemala. Additionally, we present findings from recent research that highlight the invisible barriers women face and showcase innovative strategies to build more equitable and sustainable landscapes.🔍 Learn more about the progress, challenges, and solutions for achieving gender equity in the restoration and management of Model Forests.
