Using satellite image analysis, Brazilian environmental institute MapBiomas revealed in June that the Amazon and Pantanal regions were "facing a serious reduction in water."
The Amazon rainforest experienced a historic drought from June to November 2023, driven by low rainfall and consistent high temperatures. But the Pantanal biome dried up the most in 2023, recording a 61 percent decrease compared to the 1985 historical average.
Climate change is to blame for the increasing frequency and severity of the droughts.
