  abstract = {{S}ince the {R}io {C}onvention in 1992, there has been a strong political and ethical imperative to link biodiversity conservation and equity and to promote gender-sensitive policies. {H}owever, there has also been a huge gap between these global injunctions and local actions. {M}angrove conservation policy is a good illustration of "nature grabbing," which leads to environmental violence. {T}his paper explores the perspectives of the fisherwomen who inhabit the mangroves. {I}t analyzes their struggle to maintain control over mangrove resources and spaces in the face of private or public forces seeking to commodify them in the name of conservation. {B}ased on a corpus of ethnographic data collected over more than 40 years, the paper focuses on the narratives of the oyster fisherwomen in {B}asse-{C}asamance, {S}enegal. {I}t highlights their individual, family, and collective strategies in three time periods: the 1980s, the 2000s and the 020s, demonstrating their resistance over time, defensively or offensively, to the consequences of globalization. {T}he paper shows the ability of the women to preserve their heritage and empower themselves, notably thanks to their self-organization and mutual support. {T}he paper concludes with the scientific uncertainties regarding mangrove dynamics and the conflictual visions on the future of the mangrove socio-ecosystem at diverse scales.},
