Biological loss of forest and wildlife is strongly correlated with the loss of cultural diversity as it has increasingly marginalised and impoverished many indigenous and other forest dependent communities who directly depend on various components of forest and wildlife for food, drink, medicine, culture, spiritualism etc. Poor women are affected more than men. In many societies, women bear the major responsibilities of collection of fuel, folder, etc. but as the resources are depleting fast, women have to walk longer to get water or fuel which is directly affecting their lifestyle.
