The Amazon River in Brazil has fallen to its lowest level in over a century due to a record drought, causing severe damage to the jungle ecosystem and upending the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. The drought has led to drying up rivers, wildfires, and smothering the country in smoke. Deforestation, dwindling rain, and unrelenting heat are exacerbating the situation, further depleting the world's largest rainforest. The crisis has prompted concerns about the future of the Amazon and its vital role in providing fresh water and supporting biodiversity. Latin American leaders are also taking measures to boost economic growth in order to curb the migrant exodus from the region.
