The study of the relationship between gender and environmental behaviour is a topic that has received increasing attention in recent years. The purpose of this article is to analyze the role played by gender in the realization of practices related to environmental conservation. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and analysis of empirical data, gender differences in the perception of environmental issues, participation in conservation activities, and the impact of these differences on environmental sustainability are explored. The results obtained indicate the existence of 7 factors that explain 62.05% of the total variability of the variables that condition the environmental behavior of individuals, demonstrating that gender is not a determining factor of environmental behavior.
