Thousands of alligators huddle in an area that was once a reservoir in the Pantanal da Nhecolândia, district of Corumbá (MS). According to the researcher Zilca María Campos, if it does not rain in the region, the animals did not resist the high water temperatures, due to the mud that reaches 50 ° C on the hottest days. The information is from G1.
“We were there at the dam and the scene is really shocking, impressive, mainly because there are thousands of alligators concentrated in a dam. I think this is what impresses the most. There are about 4 to 5,000 piled up in this same pit. If the rain does not come, many will probably die. In fact, many have already died, ”the researcher told G1.
According to Zilca, the animals are dying of dehydration and those who are most likely to survive are those who seek refuge within the forest. Likewise, according to the researcher, deforestation in the Amazon, the sedimentation of rivers and climate change are the main factors that led the alligators to this situation.
“All this affects the Pantanal and, by reducing rainfall, it also reduces aquatic environments and species that are aquatic suffer, which can even lead to death. Now, the short-term solution would be to fill these landfills with water or shade them to avoid high temperatures ”, he explained to G1.
The researcher also reported that farmers and foremen are building dams on the site. “This also benefits the fauna and especially the alligator, which is highly dependent on water. We have a lot of support from the local population and I believe that this love for nature is fundamental now to save the alligators ”, he told G1.
