The COVID-19 pandemic had a disproportionately large negative impact on traditional rural societies with little access to modern health care. This research project will study how forest-dependent indigenous people of the Amazon forest engaged in citizenship to exercise their rights to influence institutions and political processes that increased their resilience and reduced their vulnerability to COVID-19. The study will use existing data to quantify the mechanisms through which these communities reduced their vulnerability in the past by being more engaged citizens. The research team, consisting of scientists from Brazil, the UK, and the US, will also collect new data using interviews with people living in traditional rural communities, to better understand the opportunities and barriers to their engagement. The research results will be disseminated to stakeholders, including local, state, and federal governmental agencies, and policy makers in Brazil. The results of this research could provide guidance on policies to strengthen inclusive democratic governance, reduce unequal access to health and other resources, and increase resilience to crises. The results of this research have global application, hence will help establish the US as a global leader in disaster resilience. Citizenship from below, a process through which marginalized peoples self-organize to claim recognition and rights, is crucial to disaster recovery, resilience, and societal renewal. This project assembles an international team of social scientists from Brazil, UK, and the US to study how the forest people of Brazilian Amazonia have used collective action to mitigate the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and strengthen disaster resilience. The study will: (1) quantify linkages between forest citizenship and COVID-19 resilience; (2) investigate various practices of forest citizenship that were employed during the COVID-19 pandemic; and (3) disseminate learning experiences of the forest people on how to promote forest citizenship and enhance disaster resilience across Amazonia and other parts of the world. The research project will address these questions through three interlinked projects---quantitative analysis of secondary health, governance, and environmental data (entire Brazilian Amazon), qualitative fieldwork in selected municipalities in Amazonia and Acre State, and action-research. The results of this research could provide guidance on policies to strengthen inclusive democratic governance, reduce unequal access to health and other public resources, and increase resilience to crises. The result of this research is scalable, hence can help establish the US as a global leader in disaster resilience.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

Covid-19大流行对传统的农村社会的负面影响不成比例，几乎没有获得现代医疗保健。 该研究项目将研究亚马逊森林依赖森林的土著人民如何行使其影响机构和政治进程的权利，从而提高了他们的韧性并减少了他们对Covid-19的脆弱性。 该研究将使用现有数据来量化这些社区通过成为更多参与公民来减少其脆弱性的机制。 由来自巴西，英国和美国的科学家组成的研究团队还将利用与居住在传统农村社区中的人们进行采访，以更好地了解其参与的机会和障碍。研究结果将被传播给利益相关者，包括地方，州和联邦政府机构以及巴西的政策制定者。这项研究的结果可以提供有关加强包容性民主治理，减少不平等健康和其他资源的政策的指导，并提高对危机的韧性。 这项研究的结果具有全球应用，因此将有助于将美国确立为灾难韧性的全球领导者。公民身份从下面，边缘化的人民自我组织声称承认和权利的过程对于灾难恢复，韧性和社会更新至关重要。 该项目组成了来自巴西，英国和美国的国际社会科学家团队，以研究巴西亚马逊森林人民如何采用集体行动来减轻COVID-19的大流行的负面影响并增强灾难的抵御能力。 该研究将：（1）量化森林公民身份与19号恢复能力之间的联系； （2）调查在19日大流行期间采用的森林公民身份的各种实践； （3）传播森林人士关于如何促进森林公民身份并增强整个亚马逊和世界其他地区的灾难的复原力的学习经历。 该研究项目将通过三个相互联系的项目解决这些问题---对中等健康，治理和环境数据（整个巴西亚马逊）的定量分析，亚马逊州和英亩州选定市政当局的定性实地调查以及行动研究。 这项研究的结果可以提供有关加强包容性民主治理，减少不平等健康和其他公共资源的政策的指导，并提高对危机的韧性。 这项研究的结果是可扩展的，因此可以帮助将美国确立为灾难弹性的全球领导者。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来支持的。
