The study aims to create and analyze a database of protest events in the Amazon, documented during the pandemic period from 2022 to 2025, using the region’s most widely circulated news sources. This approach allows us to identify and compare demonstrations by various social movements, whether related to labor or other identities and goals (such as gender, sexuality, and ethnic-racial issues). The study seeks to develop typologies and explore the unique regional characteristics of these groups, including social composition, agendas, and types of action, while also identifying patterns, trends, and structural connections among the conflicts. Understanding the characteristics of protest events in the region, along with their social bases and agendas, provides a foundation for proposing, formulating, and evaluating public policies that can effectively address the demands of these social groups.
