Dahil sa matinding tagtuyot, naitala na ang pinakamababang lebel ng tubig sa ilang bahagi ng Amazon River sa kasayasayan ngayong taon.
Ang pagkatuyot ng tubig sa Amazon River ay may malaking epekto sa mga komunidad na nakapalibot dito, sa kalikasan, at nagbabanta rin sa pandaigdigang klima.
Ano nga ba ang epekto ng pagkatuyot ng Amazon River sa mundo? Here's what you need to know.

01:00I would prefer to say that the Amazon is the hearth of the world.
01:22When we think about the hearth, they pump a lot of blood and the blood is what makes
01:27our life.
01:28The Amazon forests pump lots of humidity for the atmosphere and help to regulate the climate,
01:38not only here in South America, but all around the world.
01:41It's the place that we have the most and have the more kind of lives living there.
02:05It means we are talking about trees, animals, plants and different types of organisms.
02:12Apart from these, there are more than 300 different indigenous groups living there and
02:21there are more than 100 groups that are isolated or in self-isolation from the society.
03:05It's a most severe drought than last year, that is making this drought the most severe
03:16than ever.
03:18Just to give an idea how large and how severe is this drought, when we get the six major
03:28basins of different rivers that make the Amazon River, we have five of them are below
03:37the historical level of drought and one, the Solimões Basin, is in the lowest level ever
03:45report since it started.
04:03Greenpeace make a pacific protest in the Drouot-Solimões River to bring attention of those
04:15that are responsible for all the climate crisis that we are living, not only here in Brazil,
04:20in the Amazon, but all around the world.
04:23The big industry of oil and gas knows for several decades that they are causing the climate
04:34changing and try to refuse or to not release this information.
04:39It's time that this industry to be responsible for all the acts that bring us to this climate
04:47crisis and stop to drilling and start to paying all the effects that they are causing because
04:55of the exploration of oil and gas.
05:09We have a huge mortality of fishes and aquatic mammals last year and these years.
05:37They will take a very long to the recovery of these animals.
05:42We have to know that the rivers in the Amazon are the life of the people.
05:47These people use the water of the rivers for everything, to drink, to cook, to make the
05:54day by day activities and they are the roads and the streets of the Amazon.
06:02Without the rivers, without the rivers very drop, this affect the access of the people
06:07for the communities to the city.
06:32We have to think that what happening in the Amazon do not stay in the Amazon.
07:01The climate do not see frontiers, do not see barriers.
07:06If we lost the Amazon, if we keep the drought happening, the mortality of the forest, this
07:13will change the climate and the people all around the world will be affect.
07:18Without the Amazon forest, we will not be able to keep the temperature lower than 1.5
07:27degrees as we know that is the limit to not have more and more climate crisis.
07:55First of all, we have to mobilize ourselves and asking our government to abound the incentives
08:05of the drilling of oil and gas and start to push that the companies have to pay for all
08:15the crisis climate that they are doing.
08:18People all around the world can put pressure that all the promise made in big climate meetings
08:25really stop to say and start to put the money that are promised to help the undeveloped
08:32countries to dealing with the climate crisis and to help to preserve the biodiversity that
08:39we have in the Amazon forest, but in all other natural systems around the world.
