This research examines 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. The study, conducted by a group of researchers from various research institutes and civil society organizations, including the University of Lausanne and the ICCA Consortium, uses mixed methods. Particularly, the study includes 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 study is to identify how the Covid-19 pandemic impacted Indigenous Peoples and local communities and how was being managed at that time and to provide insights and recommendations for future pandemics.
