The Pandemic and Other Threats to Indigenous Peoples in the Amazonian Rainforest

Join UMD's School of Public Health for a conversation about how Indigenous peoples in the Bolivian and Peruvian Amazon are responding to the COVID pandemic and other threats to their communities. Webinar participants will learn about the region and its people, how COVID has changed the way that people are currently living, key challenges going forward, and identify strategies to assist. Speakers include indigenous community members, a whitewater kayaker and filmmaker, and experts in epidemiology, One Health/Ecohealth, global health, and anthropology.
