Paisagens epidemiológicas na Amazônia: Explorando a Associação Entre Uso Da Terra, Indicadores Ambientais E Doenças Vetoriais
Este estudo investiga, por meio do uso de indicadores ambientais, uso da terra e técnicas de análise de agrupamento, características de municípios da Amazônia Legal que podem estar associadas à incidência de doenças vetoriais. Identificamos e descrevemos seis agrupamentos de municípios amazônicos com características ambientais e agrárias similares. Com base em um conjunto de indicadores epidemiológicos, exploramos a incidência de doenças tropicai…
Epidemiological landscapes in the Amazon: Exploring the Association Between Land Use, Environmental Indicators, and Vector-Borne Diseases
This study investigates the characteristics of municipalities in the Legal Amazon that may be associated with the incidence of vector-borne diseases using environmental and land use indicators and cluster analysis. We identified and described six groups of Amazonian municipalities with similar environmental and agrarian characteristics. Based on a set of epidemiological indicators, we explore the incidence of neglected vector-borne tropical disea…
Mining requests in Brazil’s indigenous lands finally removed, but the battle continues
Mining causes intense socio-environmental impacts and threatens Indigenous peoples in Brazil, exposing them to violence, contagious diseases, mercury contamination, and loss of livelihoods. Recent collaborative efforts by society achieved positive advances against mining in Indigenous Lands (ILs). Notably, the National Mining Agency (ANM) has revoked thousands of mining requests that encroached upon ILs for decades, marking a historic but underpu…
Epidemiology, Biodiversity, and Technological Trajectories in the Brazilian Amazon: From Malaria to Covid-19
The Amazon biome is under severe threat due to increasing deforestation rates and loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services while sustaining a high burden of neglected tropical diseases. Approximately two thirds of this biome are located within Brazilian territory. There, socio-economic and environmental landscape transformations are linked to the regional agrarian economy dynamics, which has developed into six techno-productive trajectories (T…
Environmental vulnerability assessment of Brazilian Amazon Indigenous Lands
Amazonian Indigenous Lands (ILs) are human-environment systems facing a multitude of environmental threats. Yet, the resulting vulnerability of these systems are to date unknown. We adopt the theoretical vulnerability framework of the IPCC to assess the environmental vulnerability of Brazilian Amazon ILs for two periods (2001–2010 and 2011–2019) and overall (2001–2019). Vulnerability is deemed a function of exposure (EX), sensitivity (SE) and ada…
Brazilian amazon indigenous peoples threatened by mining bill
The Brazilian Amazon has the highest concentration of indigenous peoples in the world. Recently, the Brazilian government sent a bill to Congress to regulate commercial mining in indigenous lands. This work analyzes the risks of the proposed mining bill to Amazonian indigenous peoples and their lands. To evaluate the possible impact of the new mining bill, we consider all mining license requests registered in Brazil’s National Mining Agency that …
