È una delle regioni della Terra più legata all’acqua: parliamo dell’Amazzonia, con il suo maestoso Rio delle Amazzoni. Sembrerebbe proprio l’antitesi della siccità, eppure anche lì – dove pur è presente una stagione delle piogge e una più secca, da maggio a ottobre – quest’anno il cambiamento climatico si fa sentire: qui vediamo la zona di Manaus e del lago Puraquequara, ormai in secca.
