"While dealing with a Covid-19 pandemic, we are also on the brink of a hunger pandemic... There is also a real danger that more people could potentially die from the economic impact of COVID-19 than from the virus itself." David Beasley said the UNSC. edition.cnn.com/2020/04/22/a…

Indigenous communities have their own resilience mechanisms to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, but these are more difficult to practices given ecological and social changes given the effects of climate change and commercialization of natural resources. culturalsurvival.org/news/ka…

Thank you very much @ILCAsia. Indeed, the rural poor are gravely affected by #COVID19. Their existing vulnerabilities have been magnified, and quarantines have made it easier for businesses and governments to violate their land and resource rights. Click the link for more.
#COVID19, its impacts, and subsequent measures to quell its spread have been disproportionately impacting the poor and marginalized. Read the blog written by our member Denise Musni of @ANGOCorg on what secure #landrights mean during #coronavirus pandemic asia.landcoalition.org/en/ne…
