Amazonian Forest Peoples' Perceptions of Malaria on the Upper Rio Negro, Brazil, are Shaped by Both Local and Scientific Knowledge
Malaria is endemic in Brazilian Amazonia, accounting for 99% of national cases. Amazonian forest peoples (both Indigenous and traditional) understand and treat the disease based on their knowledge, rituals, and religion. In recent decades, biomedical health coverage has expanded in the region, with implications for local perceptions and practices to prevent, treat, and recover from malaria. This paper attempts to understand how the expansion of b…
Social Vulnerability to Climatic Shocks Is Shaped by Urban Accessibility
Despite growing interest in urban vulnerability to climatic change, there is no systematic understanding of why some urban centers have greater social vulnerability than others. In this article, we ask whether the social vulnerability of Amazonian cities to floods and droughts is linked to differences in their spatial accessibility. To assess the accessibility of 310 urban centers, we developed a travel network and derived measures of connectivit…
Are There Food Deserts in Rainforest Cities
Food deserts have been widely studied in Western contexts but rarely in transitioning economies and never within a rainforest. The Brazilian Amazon is a rapidly urbanizing region with high levels of poverty and food insecurity, providing an ideal context in which to explore this current research gap. Within this setting, five urban centers ranging from small town to metropole are examined to explore any potential variations between urban centers …
An ethnobotanical study of anti-malarial plants among indigenous people on the upper Negro River in the Brazilian Amazon
Plantas útiles en una comunidad indígena murui-muinane desplazada a la ciudad de Florencia (Caquetá-Colombia)
Ethnobotanical studies on the displaced indigenous groups of Colombia are scarce. This research report provides a list of 54 plant species (50 genera in 32 families) used by a displaced group of Murui-Muinane (= Witoto, Uitoto, Huitoto) that lives in the city of Florencia, capital of the Department of Caquetá. Only six (11%) plant species are not native to the Americas. Arecaceae and Fabaceae were the families with the highest number of species: …
