Forests and women are strongly interconnected with each other because women, particularly those living in rural areas or mountain areas, have a deep relationship with the forest ecology because they are responsible for gathering food, fuel, fodder, leaves and water for the family. Hence, women directly play an important role in the use of forest resources as well as in the protection of the forests which is very crucial to the success of the conservation policy. In the present paper, the authors have tried to explore how women in Mizoram in Northeast India are concerned with ecological matters. The rapid change of forest ecology has had a serious impact on women's lives as it contributes to their burden. The women's deep knowledge about forests and its natural resources has gradually been eroded because of the strong partriarchal domination of the modernization process which is bonded by the traditional and western patriarchal culture of colonialism and Christianity.
