Karipuna Resistance: Defending the Amazon

Brazil heads into latest COVID surge amid public health information blackout
Daniela Castelan lives in a 3-bedroom house in Sao Paulo with her husband and two young girls. Just after Christmas, they started feeling sick. “We had light symptoms,” she said. “One of my daughters had a fever. My 7-year-old had a bad cough. We were all congested and we all had a cough.

He wears a huge smile and the logo of Brazil's universal health care system: SUS. In a video posted by the Ministry of Health a few years ago, he's introduced to rows of children in an auditorium in Rio de Janeiro's Cidade de Deus favela. “What's his name?” asks the man on the mic. “Zé Gotinha,” shouted the kids.
The TCI is not the answer to our environmental problems

The Death of Democracy in Brazil
The dismantling of Brazil’s democracy, which culminated in the jailing of former president Lula Da Silva as he looked certain to be reelected, is the subject of a new English-language investigative podcast. Cícero Ezequiel Filho lay beneath the sweltering sun of Brazil’s capital, Brasilia.

Why is Brazil's Bolsonaro peddling hydroxychloroquine despite the science?
It’s been two weeks since Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was diagnosed with COVID-19. He has been quarantined to the presidential palace in Brasília since then, but that has not kept him out of the spotlight, nor has it changed his response to the pandemic.
