This publication reports on how the Covid-19 pandemic affected Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) in 2020-1, particularly those who govern, manage and conserve their lands and waters. This research complements preliminary findings from a global survey conducted by a group of 16 authors from various research institutes and civil society organisations, including the University of Lausanne and the ICCA Consortium. The report presents the results of qualitative research based on the analysis of stories and online questionnaires through the use of SenseMaker® software. This tool allows for the analysis of multiple perspectives of complex situations and enables a meta-analysis of qualitative data. The objective of this report is to identify how the Covid-19 pandemic impacted Indigenous Peoples and local communities and how was being managed at that time. The report 1) reflects the importance of traditional and local knowledge to IPLCs, 2) how COVID-19 affects their rights, 3) how it impacts their access to natural resources that constitute their livelihoods, 4) increases understanding about their resilience, and 5) provides lessons for future pandemics.
