Reviews & Statements

Opportunities and Challenges for Women Leaders in Environmental Management highlights the growing capacity of women in this field. However, it notes a concerning trend where the utilization of local knowledge is on the decline. Factors such as social ties, mutual trust, social cohesion, and social-ecological resilience are diminishing. To address these issues, it is recommended that disaster-intense practical and research components be incorporated into both the environmental management curriculum and the social science curriculum
