This
34-page report, published by CARE, presents 7 case studies from across Africa
that focus on three types of threatened environmental resources: land, forests,
and water. In each case women share their stories of how the loss or
degradation of such critical resources has adversely affected their lives and
what they are doing to address these problems. In the foreword, Nobel Laureate
Wangari Maathai argues that women's livelihoods are directly linked to the
state of the environment, and that when rural environments become
unsustainable, it is women whose lives are most disrupted.
