The Covid-19 pandemic got worse, showing its cruelest face through hospitals overrunning, low oxygen and other medical supplies, and people queuing for beds.<\/p>\n\n<p>Brazil is one of the worst affected countries by the pandemic. Indigenous communities are facing severe impacts \u2013 particularly as President Bolsonaro fails to recognise Indigenous Peoples\u2019 human rights.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Together with local partners, Greenpeace is delivering equipment and medical supplies to Indigenous communities, in an effort to help save lives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The pandemic has worsened the long-standing injustice that Indigenous communities face<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Indigenous Peoples in Brazil and across the Amazon face serious economic, social and health challenges and are at higher risk from emerging infectious diseases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Throughout history, epidemics brought in by European colonisers devastated Indigenous communities that had no immunity to new foreign diseases.<\/p>\n\n<p>Fast forward five centuries, and these communities live in severe deprivation, and continue to be at grave risk from infectious diseases like Covid-19.

Without these rights and protections, communities can\u2019t isolate themselves and are constantly under threat from potentially-infected outsiders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>The existing deep-rooted, historical inequalities that Indigenous communities face are multiplied by Covid-19.

This is mostly due to people travelling between urban centres with high infection rates and more isolated rural areas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Besides the Covid-19 health risk, there are often violent clashes between miners and loggers and Indigenous communities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Indigenous Peoples have spent centuries defending the forests and lands that they depend on to sustain their families, culture, preserve their way of life and the plants and animals around them.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgeographic.com\/environment\/article\/can-indigenous-land-stewardship-protect-biodiversity-#:~:text=Recent%20research%20demonstrates%20that%20while,percent%20of%20the%20global%20biodiversity.\">Research shows<\/a>&nbsp;that while Indigenous peoples comprise less than 5% of the world\u2019s population, they protect 80% of global biodiversity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Indigenous peoples evicted from their Amazon rainforest homelands have often been forced to move to Manaus, with overcrowded informal settlements and now, overstretched healthcare.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Manaus is a city of over a million and home to 180,000 Indigenous inhabitants.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/news.mongabay.com\/2020\/04\/evicted-indigenous-people-in-manaus-struggle-to-stay-safe-amid-covid-19-crisis\/\">For example, as reported by Mongabay, Anne, a single mother<\/a>&nbsp;living with two of her children in a rented apartment in the north of the city, says how she doesn\u2019t have a job, and almost nothing to eat as a result of the forced displacement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Further south, invasions of Indigenous lands for industrial meat and dairy in the southern Amazon bring threats of new pandemics.
