In the Colombian town of Leticia, the Amazon River's historically low water levels are causing significant challenges for local Indigenous communities. Fishermen like Marciano Flores are struggling to make ends meet as the declining catch forces them to venture farther down the river each day, impacting their livelihoods and increasing costs.
The drought, which has hit Brazil the hardest, is now spreading to other Amazon nations, disrupting local economies and food supplies. In Colombia, the situation is dire, with water levels decreasing by 80-90% in recent months, leaving rural Indigenous communities isolated and in need of essential supplies.
