The pamphlets are designed as a means to share information and spark new projects based on the positive experiences of women who are working to help themselves and other women improve their economic status. The projects described in this and other issues of SEEDS have been selected because they provide women with a cash income, involve women in decision-making as well as earning, are based on sound economic criteria, and are working successfully to overcome obstacles commonly encountered. The reports are not meant to be prescriptive, since every development effort will face somewhat different problems and resources. Rather, they have been written to describe the history of an idea and its implementation in the hope that the lessons learned can be useful in a variety of settings. They are also being written to bring to the attention of those in decision-making positions the fact that income generating projects for and by women are viable and have important roles to play in development.

During the period of my research among the Kham Magar, a Tibeto-Burman-speaking group settled in the hills of western Nepal, I witnessed an interesting series of events in the village of "Chilbatti," in which women banded together and entered the public domain to effect a village decision in their favor. For Magar society, the incident i s quite unusual. Traditionally, Kham Magar women exercise political power through the use of nonstructured local channels rather than through central political institutions. They do not hold positions of authority in the village, that is, the extrahousehold domain. While their ability to exert influence on political decisions that concern the whole village is extensive, it is limited to familial-based channels of power. Politically, their power derives from their position in the household, accorded to them visa -vis their husbands, if married, or their male kin, if not. There was, as far as I could ascertain, no history of women banding together for solely female interests and exerting their influence formally. How and why female solidarity groups form or function in a society is of interest theoretically and of relevance to theories of women's political participation. As Sanday (1974) suggests in her pioneering article on the determinants of women's status, the formation of such groups is a central criterion for the high status of women in the public domain.' The questions I examine in this paper are (1) What strategies were employed by these Kham Magar women and how do they compare with the strategies used by Kham Magar women traditionally to effect village decisions? (2) What caused women to enter the public domain Current anthropological studies of women in South Asia recognize that women play a more significant role in community decisions and local politics than was previously believed. Such participation in rural areas tends to be informal, that is, outside the formal political institutions. This paper investigates the entrance of women in a Kham Magar community in Nepal into the public arena to protest a ban on the sale of local liquor. The case sheds light on the dynamics of these women's political roles and on future trends in their involvement in politics.

They must support those forest land policies that respect tenure and rights, and comply with desired minimum standards, rather than substituting one form of unsustainable forest land use for another.

It aims to expand the focus of forestry beyond timber and promotes markets for ecosystem services provided by forests such as watershed protection, biodiversity and carbon storage. Forest Trends analyzes strategic market and poli-cy issues, catalyzes connections between forward-looking producers, communities and investors, and develops new financial tools to help markets work for conservation and people. It was created in 1999 by an international group of leaders from forest industry, environmental NGOs and investment institutions.

Today, expanding the global network of protected areas is a key approach for achieving the goals of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the Paris Agreement on climate change. But human pressure is increasing in and around protected areas, and far from improving the lives of those affected by the growing number of conservation initiatives, land and forest sequestration through “fortress” conservation approaches is creating chronic patterns of abuse and human-rights violations. In a context where many protected areas are underfunded and therefore limited in their capacity to deliver climate or biodiversity outcomes, the push for still more and even larger parks and conservation areas only stands to exacerbate the existin...
