I need to pull together material for a lecture/discussion on gender
issues for my sustainable development class.

Any short reading suggestions would be welcome.

Frank -

Here are a couple of older articles on Wangari Maathai's Green Belt Movement,
and also on the Chipko the tree huggers of Northern India. I would recommend
browsing their respective websites for current material.  Maathai won the Nobel
Peace Prize in 2004.  Both are living examples of gender and sustainable
development efforts.

UNESCO Courier (Dec 1999) Wangari Muta Maathai: Kenya's Green Militant.
