Amazon Rainforest Port Records Lowest Water Level in 121 Years, Disrupting Corn Shipping Amid Brazil's Climate Emergency

The water level at a major river port in Brazil's Amazon rainforest has reached its lowest point in at least 121 years due to a historic drought. The drought has left boats stranded, cut off food and water supplies to remote jungle villages, and is suspected of killing over 100 endangered river dolphins. Some areas of the Amazon have experienced the lowest rain levels since 1980, and the Brazilian government attributes the drought to this year's onset of the climate phenomenon El Nino. The drought is expected to last until at least December.
