This paper has al/ell/pted to exall/ine the ongoing natural resource degradation and itsrnill/plications on wOlI/en in the rural Gelesot (lowland) and Telfetit (highland) Kebeles inrnBugna Wereda, North Wallo. Bugna Wereda is characterised by natural resourcerndegradation and recurrent drought.rnThe aill/ 01 the study was to find out the different ill/plications that natural resourcerndegradation has on wall/en and their roles. By analysing the intra -household gender basedrnnatural resource utilisation, wall/en's ill/portant link lVith their natural environll/ent wasrnreviewed. This has helped to analyse natural resource degradation and its negativernill/plications on wall/en and their roles. tvforeover, the difJerent responses and copingrnII/ echanisll/s that households ell/ploy during natural resource degradation were reviewed inrnrelation to their ill/plications to lall/ily welfare, contributions to natural resourcernII/anagell/ent andlurther pressure on the existing natural resources.rnThe finding has disclosed that wOlI/en have a day to day interaction with their naturalrnenvironll/ent since they play all ill/portant role ill house/wid lood production, processillgrnand lood distribution. Moreover, it revealed that the degradation olnatural resources in thernstudy area has resulted in reduced supply olnatural resources and has caused wider andrncOlI/plex ill/plication on WOII/en, theirlall/ilies and their environll/ent.
