The Brazilian Amazon is experiencing a record drought, leading to the lowest water levels in the Amazon River in over a century. As severe drought continues to upend life in the rainforest, rivers are drying up, causing stranded boats and dead fish. The drought is also contributing to wildfires that are choking cities with smoke. The drought's impact on the region's ecosystem and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people is significant. The Amazon rainforest holds a fifth of the world's fresh water, and deforestation, dwindling rain, and unrelenting heat are exacerbating the situation.
