Birth of Turtles Drops 75% in Brazil's Largest Nursery​

Number of hatchlings plummeted from 1.4 million to 349,000 in the Guaporé Valley, Rondônia, due to wildfires and drought​

The birth rate of chelonians, a group of reptiles including turtles, terrapins, and tortoises, fell by 75% in the Guaporé Valley, Rondônia—the largest nursery for these species in Brazil—when comparing 2023 to 2024.

The Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama) estimates that 1.4 million chelonians hatched in 2023. Last year, the number dropped to just 349,000.

Amazon river turtles and yellow-spotted river turtles are the most common species. In addition to being affected by climate changes in the region, the yellow-spotted turtles are also targeted for illegal exploitation, as they are considered a delicacy in countries like Colombia.

Ibama attributes the decline to the climatic effects of the past year, particularly the smoke caused by wildfires that ravaged Brazil, peaking in September.

In Rondônia, the capital Porto Velho was shrouded in dense smoke, with air quality ranking among the worst in the world. Mato Grosso also suffered from the effects of the fires.

What is your intent here? You don't think it's an issue? Overstated?

It's a sad story and I have only empathy for people living in the region but what do soap operas have to do with it?

That’s like asking if you think volcanos are an issue. I mean it’s a thing that happens on this planet, I wouldn’t call anything an issue unless there is something I could do to resolve it.

Ah, you're one of those. Okie dokie. 'Nuff said.

My hippy ass initially interpreted that post as following the science and being genuinely concerned about climate change and increasing wildfires in both North and South America during their respective hot and dry fire seasons.

Oh well.

- Used to be a big thing here in Brasil. And several actors are Lula suporters. Because they make money to be so.

 

[Boxiana]

“Outbreak” as in slash and burn?

- They're man made fires. To help "clean' huge chunks of land to the big farmers. Farmers whose Lula government was against.

- When a fire starts. Other idiots start fires, since the brigades would be busy combating a fire, other places will be burning.

I remember when Bolsonaro was blamed for every fire. Do they still do that with Lola?

Yeah, Sherdog gonna Sherdog.

When the permafrost melt gets going in earnest shit's gonna hit the fan with the quickness and people will sit behind their screens typing, "Yeah, but wadda ya gonna do? Can't do nuthin'."

Edit: also, wildfire season is now most of the year instead of just the summer. Good luck with that.

Nowhere in your initial post does it say that, it just keeps saying “outbreaks”.
