Tefe (Amazonas), 6th Oct 2023 - Boiled Dolphins: Researchers and veterinarians are conducting a necropsy on a boto (freshwater dolphin) found dead in Lake Tefe, near the Amazon River, amidst the worst drought ever experienced in the Amazon. At least 150 animals - 10% of the region's population - were found dead and rescued by the Mamiraua Institute between late September and early October. Investigations carried out by biologists and veterinarians indicate that they died from heat as the water temperatures reached up to 40?C. (Photo by Gustavo Basso/NurPhoto)

    Nossa Senhora de Fatima (Amazonas), 10th Oct 2023 - Uncontrolled forest fires are raging in the area near the Nossa Senhora de Fatima community, close to the Rio Negro. Within the first 16 days of October alone, INPE (National Institute for Space Research) detected 3,060 fire outbreaks in the state of Amazonas, at the peak of the worst drought ever experienced by the Amazon rainforest. This crisis has positioned the state as the second-largest victim of these intentional fires, a relatively new issue in this region, located in the heart of the Amazon.

        Community of Nossa Senhora de Fatima (Amazonas), 10th Oct 2023 - Half a dozen small communities have emerged along the lakes near the mouth of the Taruma-Mirim stream. With the stream now dried up, the population relies on makeshift wooden bridges and long walks to reach their homes. With the stream that once bathed the community now dried up, the connection to the outside world has shifted to a creek located an hour's walk away. For many, the hardship has made life in the village unfeasible, anticipating a phenomenon that could become a reality if droughts like this year's become commonplace: the displacement of entire Amazonian riverside communities to regions more suitable for the new climate regime, a consequence of human activity on the planet.

                Amazon Drought

                Porto Praia Community, (Amazonas) 8th Oct 2023 - With the lowering of the Amazon River's water level, which last Friday (20th) was already 40 cm below the historical record in Manaus, hundreds of riverside communities in Amazonas find themselves virtually isolated. Without even small boats reaching their shores, the population of these villages depends on long walks to connect with the outside world, making it difficult and sometimes impossible to receive essential goods. Even the supply of water has become a problem, something previously unthinkable in the Amazon, and the local government is considering relocating dozens of entire communities that may become unviable with the recurrence of new droughts like this year's -- a likely scenario given the irreversible climate changes.
