A drought in an Amazon river has revealed prehistoric carvings reminiscent of modern emojis.

A picture shows a rock uncovered by the Amazon drought in the Lajes archaeological site on October 21, 2023. Rock carvings had been spotted before at the site, notably during another drought in 2010. But archaeologists had never before spotted the mysterious faces, Oliveira told Reuters Monday.

Lake Puraquequara is part of the Rio Negro river system, which has been near record-low since the end of September, according to the state’s civil defense authority. “There are many people already having difficulty accessing food, food security, drinking water and other important inputs,” he said in a statement at the time.

☆ Brazil touts climate credentials as Amazon deforestation falls — but draws criticism over oil bet
  + stars: | 2023-09-29 | by ( Sam Meredith | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +7 min
It's welcome news for Lula, who has promised to achieve zero deforestation in the Amazon by 2030 and is seeking to repair his country's environmental reputation. The government, however, has received criticism over its plans to open new oil fields near the mouth of the Amazon River. Dave Benett | Getty Images Entertainment | Getty ImagesThe Amazon is critical in absorbing the planet's carbon dioxide — making it a vital bulwark in the fight against climate change. Txai Surui, an indigenous leader and activist from the Brazilian Amazon, welcomed the trend of falling Amazon deforestation but criticized Lula's administration for its willingness to potentially develop offshore oil. "How are you doing agreements about deforestation and all these things and yet you want to explore [for oil]?"

☆ Greta Thunberg has accused Russia of ‘ecocide’ in Ukraine. But what does that mean?
  + stars: | 2023-07-02 | by ( Radina Gigova | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +10 min
The Deep-Water Horizon oil spill, severe pollution in the Niger Delta and Amazon deforestation, could be examples of ecocide, said Jojo Mehta, co-founder and executive director of Stop Ecocide International. A number of others have debated doing the same, including Brazil, Canada, Kenya, the Maldives and the UK, according to Stop Ecocide International. “It is not a question of whether ecocide will become part of international criminal law, it’s only a question of when,” Sands said. A working group, including Thunberg, has also been established to draw attention to the environmental impact of war. If ecocide were an international crime, it could give the process more authority, some experts say.

In 2019 alone, the first year of the Bolsonaro administration, 2.4 million acres — a section of the forest about the size of Delaware and Rhode Island combined — was cleared, according to Brazil's National Institute for Space Research. About 60% of the Amazon rainforest is located in Brazil. As the Bolsonaro administration winds down, incoming President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva promises to reverse the environmental damage done in the Amazon.
