Abstract

Women's involvement in major rural activities is usually considered a pointer for community-based conservational and socio-economic development. Women constitute a sizable proportion of the total population of Iddo LGA, however there has never been a time their contributions to biodiversity management has been assessed. Therefore, this study assessed the level of involvement and the perception of womenfolk in community-based conservation activities in Iddo LGA, Oyo state, Nigeria. Questionnaires and participatory rural appraisal techniques were used to survey eightyfour (84) women in three (3) villages bordering on the peripheries of the fragmented forest left in the LGA. Data generated were pooled and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Data and results generated from this research showed that there is no significant relationship between the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents (women) and their livelihood. Farming (50.1%), Logging (34.3%), and sand excavation (15.6%) carried out over the years has serious degraded the forest. Firewood fetching (45.3%), fruit gathering (35.9%), snails picking (24.1%), and charcoal making (19.8%) were the major activities being carried out by the respondents in connection to the forest. However, there is high possibility (3.4) of little or no conservational knowledge on the part of the respondents. Community-based conservation was perceived to be very low (1.2). Another major correlate of womenfolk's involvement in biodiversity conservation in the in the area is the level of benefits derived from the forests. This had a significant implication for community-based conservation. Livelihood-based approach with the consideration of the economic interest of the womenfolk is recommended to serve as incentives for their involvement in the community-based conservation.
