The document provides a step by step guide for incorporating gender analysis into all stages of a biodiversity research project. Gender and Biodiversity Management in India In 1997, the Indian NGO, the M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation (MSSRF), conducted a research project on "Gender Dimensions in Biodiversity Management: India" in different locations throughout the country. One of the principal findings of the MSSRF project in India was that gender roles are socially constructed rather than biologically determined. The research clearly pointed out that there is a simple or uniform division of labour, skills and knowledge by sex. Secondly, the research demonstrated that age and education are increasingly important factors in determining gender roles and knowledge of the natural and ecological resources.

Extractions: Activist groups who may not be directly related to the cause for which they are fighting also use the Internet. As shown by various websites and the article written by O. Froehling, "The Cyberspace 'War of Ink and Internet' in Chiapas, Mexico", the Zapatistas prove to be an example of this phenomenon. Supporters of the Zapatistas ironically used the Internet, a child of the military (as the Internet was first invented so that military would have a communication net invulnerable to strikes against a central location) (Froehling, 1997), to stop military advancement in Chiapas. They did so by sending information on the situation in Chiapas to pre-existing e-mail lists concerned with indigenous rights, discussion groups on Central America, anti-NAFTA networks and visions in non-governmental organizations of peasant self-determination struggles. The outcomes of this campaign both helped and hampered the Zapatistas cause. The Zapatistas are mainly composed of Mayan Indians (Froehling, 1997). The demands of the Zapatistas which caused this revolt were quite basic, "housing, land, health care, work, bread, education, information, culture, independence, democracy, justice, liberty and peace" (Froehling, 1997). In order to have these demands heard and hopefully met, the Zapatistas occupied much of the state of Chiapa in January of 1994. This date was chosen with purpose, for it was the same time that NAFTA was to go through in Mexico. They would therefore move the focus from the NAFTA agreement to the problems that they and other indigenous people were facing. The Zapatistas hoped to cause a large-scale war, therefore gaining National attention, yet this was neither necessary nor possible. Twelve days into the conflict with 145 dead, the Mexican government called for a cease-fire due to the publicity this event had gained over the Internet. (Froehling, 1997)

Extractions: by Chris Balletto June 20, 1995 SAN CRISTOBAL, MEXICOAfter almost a year since the first dialogue between the government and the Zapatista Army for National Liberation (EZLN), a new round of negotiations started on April 9. This first preliminary meeting took place in the Ejido San Miguel, Ocosingo, with the goal of determining a site and date for the resumption of peace talks. While the Zapatistas had been seeking a site in Mexico City where the mobilization of thousands of supporters would have been assured and the nationwide nature of the uprising could have been more easily presented, it was decided that the permanent site would be San Andres Larrainzar, an indigenous Tzotzil village of declared Zapatista supporters, 40 km north of San Cristóbal in Chiapas. On February 9 President Zedillo put out an arrest warrant for the Zapatista leadership and ordered an Army offensive into the eastern jungle of Chiapas. He charged that the Zapatistas were planning a new offensive and claimed its leadership "is neither popular, nor indigenous, nor Chiapanecan." After three long dialogue sessions in San Andres this claim can now be put to rest. Government negotiators have been made well aware that the Zapatista representatives are indeed the same indigenous people who make up one-third of Chiapas's population. Five of the nine representatives at the negotiating table came dressed in their traditional Mayan costumes. Furthermore, a close look at each of the EZLN delegates, from their well-worn huaraches (typical sandals) to their thick calloused hands, demonstrates that any one of them could remove their ski mask and instantly blend into the population of indigenous farmers that surround the negotiating site.
