We have incredible stories to share<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d This statement by \u00c2ngela Mendes, daughter of Chico Mendes, captures the essence <\/span><b>of the Amazon Knowledge Source Database. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Created by <\/span><b>Amaz\u00f4nia Vox <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and backed by the Serrapilheira Institute, the project has surpassed 1,200 registered names. As <\/span><b>Amazonia Day <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">on September 5 approaches, along with <\/span><b>COP30<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the platform seeks to elevate local perspectives and showcase knowledge produced in the Amazon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source database is freely accessible <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazoniavox.com\/fontes\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal is to connect journalists, event and content producers, scientists, and other experts in fields such as environment and biodiversity, history, culture, and health. It also facilitates contact with civil society representatives, Indigenous leaders, and other voices. Users can search for sources by name, location, or topic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea of creating a source database to increase the visibility of Amazonian voices in the media emerged in 2023. At the time, Amaz\u00f4nia Vox\u2014one of six initiatives supported by the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) in 2024\u2014was already active in other areas, including producing journalistic content, offering training, maintaining a database of freelance communicators, and, albeit at a slower pace, developing the source database. With support from the Serrapilheira Institute, the program <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon Calling: Voices, Science<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Communication of the Amazon <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was launched to expand and strengthen this<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tool by 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To jumpstart the project\u2019s expansion, eighteen professionals\u2014nine journalists and nine journalism students\u2014were selected and paired together in each state of the Legal Amazon (Amap\u00e1, Par\u00e1, Amazonas, Acre, Rond\u00f4nia, Roraima, Mato Grosso, Tocantins, and Maranh\u00e3o). The initiative also provided stipends to each pair. The goal was to map and register 1,000 sources by September 2025, while strengthening the existing database.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The target was exceeded even before the project concluded. The database now includes more than 1,200 entries spanning the nine states of the Legal Amazon. Researchers, institutions, and local collectives can register on the platform independently by completing a registration form, after which the Amaz\u00f4nia Vox team reviews and approves submissions for inclusion in the database.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daniel Nardin, the program\u2019s creator and executive director of Amaz\u00f4nia Vox, said the initiative aims to deepen the participation of local experts in analyzing and reporting on issues in the Amazon region. \u201cIncluding the voices and knowledge of people from or living in the region in our content is a way to practice decolonial journalism. It prioritizes knowledge produced in a region that has historically been viewed through the lens of outsiders. This allows for greater depth and\u00a0 diversity of voices while creating new opportunities by raising awareness of issues\u2014with their respective problems and solutions\u2014through the lens of Amazonian knowledge,&#8221; he notes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Ruanne Lima, coordinator of the Amazon Calling program, there is a need to shift away from discussions led by outside perspectives. \u201cIn the Amazon, we have outstanding scientists, researchers, and leaders from Indigenous, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">quilombola<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and riverine communities who can speak to our unique characteristics and knowledge. It is essential to give these voices space so we can better understand the challenges facing our region and, above all, how to overcome them.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Meet some of the registered sources:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazoniavox.com\/fontes\/view\/831\/Maria_Elena_Crespo_L%C3%B3pez\"><b>Maria Elena Crespo L\u00f3pez<\/b><\/a><b> (Bel\u00e9m\/PA) &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PhD in biochemistry, full professor at the Institute of Biological Sciences at the Federal University of Par\u00e1 (UFPA), and recipient of a CNPq research productivity grant (Level 1D).
