BRAZIL: October 11, 2005


The carpet of dead fish was left by the receding waters of the drought-stricken Parana de Manaquiri River, near the city of Manaquiri in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon.


The worst drought in more than 40 years is damaging the world's biggest rainforest, plaguing the Amazon basin with wildfires, sickening river dwellers as drinking water sours, and killing freshwater fish by the millions as tributaries dry up.
