This is the Madeira River, a river that used to flow and is now almost completely dry, you can see the boats aground, and how huge this river used to be. A river of enormous proportions, which supported huge areas of the Amazon rainforest, now becoming a more desert-like region. Research has always shown that the balance of the Amazon rainforest is very sensitive, and desertification is a consequence of the lack of preservation. And now this fact is being clearly shown.
Without preservation we can see fires in Brazil like this one in the Chapada dos Veadeiros in Goiás.
Or fires that generate clouds of smoke, like this one on the Rodoanel in São Paulo, creating the city with the worst air in the world.
We can see fires on Pico Das Cabras, in the interior of São Paulo. All caused by years and years of devastation and neglect by the authorities.
