Famous sculpture of Equestrian Amazon in front of the ‚Neue Museum‘ in Berlin. Nofretete seems to watch enchanted. Her 4000 year old bust in the museum is one of the highlights of Berlin’s museum.
Lucky to get, out of about 25 attempts, two fairly decent, almost focused, bigly cropped, shots of this bird as he kept ahead of us in our bobbing zodiac on the Penas Blancas river
The Amazon rainforest is currently experiencing a significant increase in wildfires, with 9,000 fires burning simultaneously across Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Peru. The fires are largely set intentionally to clear land for cattle ranching, farming, and logging, and have been exacerbated by the dry season. The number of fires is an 80% increase over the same period last year. The Amazon is often called "the lungs of the world," absorbing greenhouse gases that would otherwise harm the planet. The fires are destroying the homes of indigenous tribes, threatening millions of animals, and even darkening the skies over major cities. The impact of the fires on the Amazon's biodiversity will be significant, with between 40,000 and 73,400 square miles of the rainforest impacted by fires since 2001, affecting 95% of all Amazonian species and as many as 85% of species that are listed as threatened in this region.
Arguably the longest river in the world, the Amazon meanders its way from the towering Andes in Peru to the sweeping coastline of Brazil, where it empties into the vast Atlantic Ocean. The Amazon River and its tributaries is located in Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Brazil. The entire river measures over 4,000 miles from its source to the river mouth. However, the exact length of the Amazon is arguable as the location of its start and end points have both been disputed historically. The Amazon River is currently alleged to be 6,992 kilometers long.*
