"Severe drought and rising temperatures lead to mass death of dolphins in Brazilian Amazon"

Over 100 dolphins have died in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest due to a severe drought and rising water temperatures, with experts warning that more could perish if temperatures remain high. The Mamiraua Institute reported the discovery of two more dead dolphins in the Tefe Lake region, a crucial habitat for mammals and fish. The deaths are believed to be caused by the unusually high water temperatures, which have exceeded 39 degrees Celsius (102 degrees Fahrenheit). The Brazilian government has dispatched teams to investigate the situation, and the drought has also impacted riverside communities, leaving them isolated and without access to clean water and transportation.
