High temperatures and drought have caused water temperatures in rivers and lakes to soar, with daytime water temperatures exceeding 37\u00b0C in areas such as Lake Tefe, and reaching 41\u00b0C in some areas, directly contributing to the mass deaths of endangered species such as the Amazon river dolphin. The United Nations reports that extreme weather in 2023-2025 will reduce fish stocks in the Amazon by 40%, and hundreds of thousands of people will face a drinking water crisis.
