Resumen
Descripción
The study captures the rich biological diversity of Sri Lanka and examines the daily dependence of its rural women and men on the bioresources for food security and to access resources for their livelihood. The study documents the gender specific roles in managing the bioresources in various production domains and local knowledge of bioresources. In order to help in understanding the evolution of gender roles in biodiversity management, a detailed historical background of the biodiversity conse rvation ethos of Sri Lanka is given. The agro-ecological and cultural features relating to biodiversity wealth are also described. The recommendations call for partnership with local communities for sustainable use of bioresources.
