Restrictions on the collection of forest products to preserve the natural environment often affect the livelihood of forest-fringe dwellers. This paper is an attempt to evaluate the existing and potential livelihood opportunities of the forest dwellers who use various forest products for daily consumption in the regions surrounded by Simlipal National Park in India. The study uses Herfindahl-Hirschman Index to score livelihood diversification at the household level. A regression analysis was used to determine the key factors responsible for livelihood diversification. Women of Simlipal have a high potential to manage forest resources along with their daily household chores. But their efforts are undermined and their work often remains unpaid. The present study explores how empowerment of women in terms of both access and control over resources might add to livelihood diversification. With the help of a strength-weakness-opportunity-threat analysis, the study establishes if the strength and opportunities of women are focused in a positive direction through gender-inclusive development policies, then women's involvement would support livelihood, and also in maintaining ecological integrity
