Drought in the Amazon
Over the last months, the main rivers that compose the Amazon basin, and the western Solimões River in particular, have been going through a strong drought. Documentation includes Anavilhanas National Park (76 km from Manaus), the largest river archipelago in the world, with over 400 islands. According to scientists, droughts are likely to occur more frequently and become more intense in the future due to climate change.
