This theoretical research paper critically examines feminist perspectives on women's agency in environmental conservation and sustainability efforts. Grounded in feminist theory and environmental studies, the paper explores the intricate intersections between gender dynamics and environmental issues, highlighting the role of women as agents of change in shaping environmental discourse, policy, and action. Through a comprehensive analysis of ecofeminist theories, intersectionality, and gender-responsive approaches to sustainable development, the paper seeks to elucidate the importance of centering women's voices and experiences in environmental decision-making processes. By addressing the theoretical underpinnings of women's agency in environmental conservation and sustainability, the paper aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of gendered dimensions of environmental issues and inform more inclusive and equitable approaches to environmental governance and policy.
