Around the world, women have encountered barriers to fully participating in the conservation workforce due to gender stereotypes deeply embedded in society. Traditionally, they have been underrepresented in the field as well as in high level positions responsible for decision making. SESSION 2B will look at the specific barriers that women protected area and conservation professionals face and explore the supports that have helped them rise above the odds. This webinar was hosted by CSU's Center for Protected Area Management and U.S. Forest Service International Programs on April 6, 2021.
