Poverty and environmental degradation are deeply interlinked phenomena that manifest most severely within fragile ecosystems.

The interconnections between poverty and environmental degradation in such ecosystems reveal a cycle of vulnerability in which poverty drives unsustainable resource exploitation, and environmental decline in turn exacerbates poverty and social marginalization. Poverty leads to an immediate dependence on local ecosystems for survival. Households in fragile ecosystems often rely directly on forests, water sources, fisheries, and agricultural land for food, fuel, fodder, and income.
