Abstract

The article explores the implications of Australian natural resource management organizations being male dominated. In these organizations most of the leadership positions and overall number of employees are men, whereas women are usually limited to low-status positions where they have little influence on decision making. This article is presented as a wake-up call to the gender bias that continues to exist in NRM organizations.
