Drought in the Rainforest?

Sunday, December 25th, 2011

One would not usually associate drought conditions with the rainforest but it does happen. In the past decade The Amazon has been hit hard by two years of devastating drought conditions in 2005 and 2010. Not only did smaller tributaries dry up stranding isolated villages but dry conditions were responsible for some of the largest forest fires ever recorded. The photos are of Boca de Valeria in February 2011 and ten months later in December 2011.

We will hope that this year’s rainy season is plentiful and river levels are restored to normal levels.
