In 2023, Amazon lakes reached deadly temperatures above 105°F, killing over 150 dolphins, a new study confirms

Extreme drought, shallow waters, and high turbidity created lethal conditions for aquatic life and led to the mass dolphin die-off

Researchers warn that such events are increasing with climate change, threatening local ecosystems

Researchers have an answer as to how dozens of dolphins were killed seemingly overnight in one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth — and it points squarely to the growing dangers of extreme heat in the Amazon.

A study published earlier this month in Science confirms that record-breaking temperatures and a severe drought in late 2023 created deadly conditions across Brazil’s central Amazon, effectively turning some lakes into hot tu
