In the final months of 2023, several publications and social media platforms recognized how important it is to educate the public about the serious issues that the Amazon is facing, such as the unexpected dryness of the rivers (hydrological drought) and the unprecedented death of fish and birds. The Rainforest Foundation, among others, stated in a publication that ¨ the Amazon River is drying up in the worst possible way, leaving our Indigenous brothers with nothing to drink but contaminated water¨. A beneficial option is to use the resources provided by the UNCCD/CLP, the Community of Learning and Practice on Drought Management, which provides access to digital communities which allow: discussions, sharing of community contents, communications, and other functions.
