Droughts, fires, floods, starvation, death... that's what Business As Usual means for people and for wildlife in the Amazon.
____________________________
Holder of one-fifth of the world's fresh water, the Amazon is beginning the dry season with many of its rivers already at critically low levels, prompting governments to address issues ranging from disrupted navigation to increasing forest fires. In several rivers in the southwestern Amazon, water levels are the lowest on record for this time of year.
On Monday, Brazil’s federal water agency decreed a water shortage in two major basins, Madeira and Purus, which cover an area nearly the size of Mexico. The next day, Acre state declared an emergency amid an impending water shortage in its main city.
These steps were taken more than two months earlier than in 2023, when most of the Amazon basin suffered its worst drought on record, killing dozens of river dolphins, choking cities with smoke for months, and isolating thousands of people who use water transportation.
In Acre, the drought has already caused water supply shortages in several areas of its capital, Rio Branco. These communities now depend on trucked-in water, a problem experienced the previous year. Between the two droughts, severe flooding hit 19 of the state's 22 municipalities.
“It's been two years in a row of extreme events,” said Julie Messias, Acre's secretary of environment. “The result is that we are facing a threat of food shortage. First the crops were flooded, and now the planting period is very dry.”
