Fuel wood
 
People in many countries, especially South-east Asia, depend on forests for fuel wood. The impoverished people in some parts of the world have neither gas nor electricity and thus rely on wood from the forest to cook and boil water. Some industries, such as the paper industry, also depend on fuel wood. You can learn more about this in the paper industry section.
