In a heartbreaking turn of events, more than a hundred dolphins have been discovered lifeless in the vast expanse of the Brazilian Amazon.
This grim discovery comes amidst an unprecedented drought and record-breaking water temperatures that, in some areas, have soared to a sweltering 102 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Mamirauá Institute, a research institution funded by the Brazilian Ministry of Science, brought this disconcerting news to light.
The magnitude of this dolphin tragedy is, indeed, quite unusual. Experts suggest that the root cause may be attributed to the extraordinary heatwaves and the historic drought that have gripped the Amazon region.
Climate scientists have long been sounding the alarm about the detrimental effects of human activity and the growing incidence of extreme droughts in this crucial ecosystem.
