The book "Women Marginalization in Conservation and Tourism Services", exams the various forms of women discrimination in conservation services in Buea, Republic of Cameroon. In most part of Cameroon, women have been noted as having a special passion for the environmental well-being. Unfortunately, the longstanding tradition of gender inequality in Cameroon has grossly neglected the effective and maximum participation of women in the management of rainforest resources through the conservation and tourism administration services. However, in the past, Cameroonian women were not educationally empowered enough to have a say in this management sectors, but their education across many fields of study today has revealed that they are talented and capable of managing even the top echelon positions in these sectors. This Book, further explains that the incorporation of women in the rainforest management services would reduce deforestation. Also, a consideration on the increase of women in wildlife tourism services in Cameroon would drive this industry into the speed of more income generation for the nation.
