Brazil Dolphins

Amazon has been experiencing one of its worst droughts in recent years. This has caused water levels to dip in 59 municipalities.

Brazil will temporarily ban the catch of a type of catfish in an effort to halt the killing of the Amazon pink dolphin, whose flesh is used as bait, the Fishing and Aquaculture Ministry said Tuesday.

A dramatic video showing 30 beached dolphins being rescued by beachgoers in Brazil has become an internet sensation.
