Governance with a gender perspective is very crucial in reducing deforestation. The existing policy is insufficient for addressing increasingly complex issues in forestry. In order to promote studies on Deforestation in relation to Gender and Governance (DGG), it is important to have comprehensive review that has the ability to provide an overview of the current research and identify future research. This article is a bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer application to identify and explore DGG research with data sources from Scopus. A total of 467 publications from 1995 to 2021 were obtained for analysis.  The findings showed that there had been an increase in DGG research, and about 84 countries were involved in this study. There shifts in themes and diversity themes in research in each country, indicating that DGG research has changed with the scale of research that is developing gradually. Deforestation, gender and governance issues have captured the attention of world leaders especially since the SDGs were established in 2015, so it can be concluded that DGG research has high potential to be developed in the future.  We suggest further DGG researches, for example by conducting an in-depth literature review of whether DGG researches have used gender analysis tools. This is one of the campaigns in reducing deforestation and realizing sustainable forests.
