Deforestation significantly impacts indigenous communities, disrupting their traditional ways of life and threatening their cultural heritage. As forests are cleared for agriculture, logging, or development, indigenous peoples often lose their homes, livelihoods, and access to vital natural resources. This loss can lead to social displacement, cultural erosion, and economic hardship. Furthermore, deforestation exacerbates environmental issues, such as climate change, which disproportionately affects these communities. Protecting forests and recognizing the rights of indigenous peoples are essential for fostering cultural preservation and sustainable development in forested regions.
