Amazon Drought

Cacau Pirera (Amazonas), 4th Oct 2023 - Eudes de Oliveira walks through dried-up lakes in the Cacau Pirera region, Amazonas, to reach his home. After the Amazon River dropped 10 meters in just over a month, hundreds of communities became unreachable by conventional means of transportation. This situation has forced residents into long walks to reach their homes, often carrying essential goods and supplies. (Photo by Gustavo Basso/NurPhoto)

    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.

      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 Sao Sebastiao (Amazonas), 10th Oct 2023 - Aerial scenes of the Sao Sebastiao community, near the Rio Negro. 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. According to the residents, out of 70 families, only 30 remain in the area. This anticipates 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.
