　　巴西亚马孙河流域近来遭遇数十年来最严重的干旱，引发当地森林大火，饮用水被污染，数以百万计的鱼类死亡。据报道，绿色和平组织已经号召各国政府采取紧急措施以阻止热带雨林消失，并对受气候变化和雨林锐减影响的当地居民给予保障。

　　One of the worst droughts ever recorded in the Amazon river region is severely damaging the world's largest rainforest, with wildfires breaking out, fresh drinking water becoming scarce and polluted, grounding of ships and the death of millions fish as the streams dry up.

　　Environmental group Greenpeace is calling on governments to take urgent action to stop deforestation and commit to the massive CO2 reductions needed to protect the Earth's biodiversity and millions of people who are at risk from the impact of climate change and ancient forest destruction.
