Escrito pela equipa. Não é uma oferta de investimento nem aconselhamento.

Problema

Famílias Wayana ao longo do rio Lawa, em Suriname, enfrentam problemas de saúde devido ao mercúrio utilizado na mineração ilegal de ouro. Um projeto de lista de verificação poderia ajudar a monitorar e reduzir os riscos de exposição.

O que estão a construir

A printed checklist form, distributed to 10 volunteer households in one Wayana village, coordinated by a local leader or health worker. The pilot will run for 2 months, with monthly collection and review meetings. Unvalidated hypothesis; full brief: /blog/in-suriname-s-amazon-the-wayana-community-strugg-2026-11-02 Source: Ligação

Porque importa

Whether a structured checklist increases awareness of mercury risks and helps identify exposure patterns compared to informal observation or no tracking. Proposed validation: Proposed pilot target: At least 70% of participating households complete the checklist for both months. Baseline: No structured tracking. Success measured by checklist return rate and a brief survey on awareness before and after, over 2 months.
