Ecological changes have attracted the attention of academicians and policy makers alike with the intention to prevent and mitigate the ill-effects associated with these changes. Women have always played a key role in the ecosystem of villages. They have performed certain roles as defined by division of labour based on sex. While discharging such roles certain resources attain primary importance for women and subsequently in the ecosystem of the village.
This paper is an observational account of a village in eastern Uttar Pradesh. It focuses on division of labour based on sex. Women of the said village were dependent on certain natural resources to discharge the duties assigned to them. Women were treating those resources with utmost care and were emotionally attached to them. The paper brings forth the impact of changes in the relationship between women and these resources and subsequently on the ecosystem of the village.
