Abstract

Forests are a key pillar for various aspects of life, including ecology, hydrology, economics, and health. Forest functions include climate regulation, carbon absorption or the world's lungs, global warming control, groundwater storage, and water management. Community forestry (HKm) is a social forestry scheme located in state forests that empowers communities surrounding forest areas to develop local capabilities and independence in improving the economy and optimizing forest resource utilization. Gender is often associated with sex, which is defined as a category that includes women and men. However, the definitions of sex and gender are generally different. Sex is defined in biological studies as two separate sexes. It is often said that this difference is a divinely accepted nature that cannot be changed and cannot be reversed between men and women. Gender is a human characteristic that can be influenced by social and religious factors. Forest management in the Reban Lestari Forest Management Unit (KTH Reban Lestari) is carried out by the surrounding community, both men and women, with their respective roles. From the observations made, it can be seen that men are more dominant in forest management, however women also contribute to management, such as helping their husbands in cultivating the land used in the KTH area, with portions that are certainly different from those of men
