Amazon Rainforest Suffers Dramatic Drought

IRANDUBA, BRAZIL - OCTOBER 04: Aerial view of boat stranded in a drought-hit harbor of Cacau Pirêra on October 04, 2023 in Iranduba, Amazonas, Brazil. The state of Amazonas remains in emergency due to severe droughts caused by climate change, heat and the El Niño phenomenon, which inhibits the formation of rain clouds. The low river levels have caused the death of a large number of fish and generated water pollution. Some areas surrounding the Amazon River area and its tributaries are not navigable and isolate local communities who have to receive food, medicine and water by air.
