The drought problem in the Amazon has recently worsened, and this situation seems to be hilarious. The latest media reports indicate that the water temperature has also reached a record high, even exceeding 102 degrees Fahrenheit (about 39 degrees Celsius). Such a temperature makes one wonder if the freshwater dolphins in the Amazon are cooked like boiling boiled shrimp. These lovely freshwater dolphins have long been regarded by locals as an important indicator of whether the Amazon River is unusual, but now they have fallen victim to the unusually hot waters, killing hundreds of freshwater dolphins. These endangered species, which have long been listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, now appear to be far more than threatened.
According to the Mamilawa Institute, the number of deaths of hundreds of freshwater dolphins found in Lake Tefe in the past seven days is staggering. Does this mean that they have suffered an unprecedented burnt, leading to the end of their lives? Perhaps it was record water temperatures and historic droughts that were important drivers of the situation. Local researchers and activists are trying to move the surviving freshwater dolphins into rivers with cooler waters, but Andrea Coelho, a researcher at the Mamirawa Institute, said in an interview that this does not mean they will necessarily be safe, because the need to verify the presence of the virus in the released waters is a real laugh.
Recent weather changes have had a severe impact on Brazil, where torrential rains hit the south and severe drought in the north, as if the heavens were playing with human feelings. The Amazon water level has reportedly dropped by 30 centimeters a day over the past two weeks, making us wonder if the Amazon's water has been sucked dry mercilessly. With the onset of the dry season, authorities expect the drought situation to be more severe in the coming weeks, which will undoubtedly lead to more deaths of freshwater dolphins. Not only that, but the river transport and fishing industries have also been severely affected due to the drop in river levels in the Amazon, which has to be laughed at. Yes, the economy has suffered because of this, which is really ridiculous.
Perhaps we should reflect on all this. After all, human damage to the environment is one of the main reasons for all this. When we see the freshwater dolphins of the Amazon suffering in such absurd conditions, we should wonder if our behavior is equally ridiculous. Should we pay more attention to environmental protection, to protect these lovely creatures and the planet we live on? Of course, this is just an irony, because we all know that humans often ignore the importance of the environment, and who can laugh at all this?
The drought in the Amazon and the death of freshwater dolphins is an ironic story. This story allows us to see the destruction of the environment by humans and their own absurdity. Perhaps we should stop and think about our actions and whether we should take more responsibility for these absurd phenomena. Only then can we avoid more sarcasm and jokes in our lives.
