Amazon Drought
Community of Nossa Senhora de Fatima (Amazonas), 10th Oct 2023 - Half a dozen small communities have emerged along the lakes near the mouth of the Taruma-Mirim stream. With the stream now dried up, the population relies on makeshift wooden bridges and long walks to reach their homes. 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, anticipating 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.
