Amazon Drought

Community of Sao Sebastiao (Amazonas), 10th Oct 2023 - Empty closed houses stand along 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.

      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.
