Many studies have shown that indigenous women tend to use biological resources for households, whereas men tend to acquire resources to earn income. Thus, women and men have different indigenous knowledge on biological resources. In the Raute community of western Nepal, women play crucial roles in enhancing, maintaining, and sustainably using biodiversity, particularly in forest ecosystems, whereas men take responsibility for securing economic resources to feed the family. Although both roles are important in sustaining their livelihoods, Raute women have heavier workloads than men do because of their diverse responsibilities for reproductive and productive tasks. Other than taking care of the family by as gathering forest products for food and medicines as well as making huts and nets for fishing, women help their husbands in making woodcrafts. This paper argues that Raute women have extensive knowledge that enhances both livelihood and ecological conservation. Based on field observation and secondary sources, it discusses how Raute women use their indigenous ecological knowledge.
