ʻO ka Amazon ka muliwai lōʻihi loa ma ka honua (ma luna o 6 km) a pili i ke kahawai ʻAkelanika. He nui nā muliwai o kēia kahawai, mahalo iā ia i kahi nui o ka wai. I nā wā ua, ua hālana ka muliwai i nā ʻāpana ʻāina he nui. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia kahi honua kupaianaha o ka flora a me nā holoholona ma nā kahakai o ka Amazon. Akā, i loko nō o ka mana o ka wahi o ka wai, ʻaʻole i hoʻopakele nā pilikia o ke kaiapuni o kēia wā.
Ka luku ʻia ʻana o nā laha holoholona
Hūnā ʻia nā lehulehu o nā iʻa i loko o ka wai o Amazon, akā i loko o nā makahiki he hala i hala aku nei, ma muli o ka ikaika o ka hana a ke kanaka, ke hoʻololi nei ka meaolaola o ke kaiaolaola. Ua ʻike nā ʻepekema ma kahi o 2.5 tausani iʻa wai hou ma Amazon. ʻO kahi laʻana, aia ka iʻa prehistoric ʻo Arapaim ma kahi o ka make, a i mea e mālama ai i kēia laha, ua hoʻomaka ʻia kēia iʻa e hānai ʻia i nā mahiʻai.
Nui nā iʻa hoihoi a me nā holoholona i loko o ka wai o kēia wahi wai: piranhas, manō bipi, crocodile caiman, nahesa anaconda, dolphin ʻākala, puhi elela uila. A hoʻoweliweli ʻia lākou āpau e nā hana a ka poʻe makemake wale e hoʻopau i ka waiwai o Amazon. Eia hou, mai ka loaʻa ʻana o ʻAmelika a me kēia wahi, ua ʻimi nā kānaka he nui i nā ʻano holoholona like ʻole i mea e kaena ai nā trophies, a ua alakaʻi ʻia hoʻi kēia i ka emi ʻana o nā lehulehu.
Hoʻohaumia wai
Nui a hewahewa nā ala e hoʻohaumia ai i ka Amazon. ʻO kēia kahi e ʻoki ai ka poʻe i nā ululāʻau ulu o ʻAmelika Hema, a i kēia mau wahi ʻaʻole i hoʻōla ʻia nā kaiaolaola, pau ka lepo a holoi ʻia i ka muliwai. ʻO kēia ke alakaʻi i ka silting o ka wahi o ka wai a me kona pāpaʻu. ʻO ke kau ʻana o nā dam a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka ʻoihana ma nā kahakai o ka Amazon ʻaʻole wale i ka nalowale o nā flora a me nā holoholona, akā hāʻawi pū kekahi i ka kahe o nā wai ʻoihana i loko o ka wai. Hoʻopili kēia a pau i ka loli o ka hoʻohui kemika o ka wai. Ua haumia ka lewa, ua piha ka ea me nā hui kemika like ʻole, e heleleʻi ana ka wai ua ma luna o Amazon a ma kona mau kapakai e hoʻohaumia nui i nā kumuwaiwai.
ʻO ka wai o kēia kahawai ke kumu o ke ola ʻaʻole wale no nā flora a me nā holoholona, akā no nā poʻe kūloko e noho ana i nā ʻohana. I ka muliwai loaʻa iā lākou kā lākou meaʻai. Eia hou, i ka ulu lāʻau ʻo Amazonian, loaʻa i nā ʻohana India ka manawa kūpono e hūnā mai nā hoʻouka kaua haole a noho maluhia. Akā ʻo ka hana a nā haole, ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka hoʻokele waiwai, alakaʻi i ka neʻe ʻana o ka lehulehu kūloko mai kā lākou wahi noho maʻamau, a hāʻawi ka wai lepo i ka hoʻolaha ʻana o nā maʻi, kahi e make ai kēia poʻe.
Huahana
Aia ke ola o ka poʻe he nui, holoholona a me nā mea kanu i ka muliwai Amazon. ʻO ka hoʻohana ʻana i kēia wahi, ka wao nahele a me ka hoʻohaumia wai e alakaʻi ai ʻaʻole wale i kahi hōʻemi o nā meaola, akā i ka loli. Eia ka home o nā poʻe he nui i loaʻa ka nohona kuʻuna no nā makahiki he mau kaukani, a ʻo ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana a ko ʻEulopa i ʻike maka ʻole ʻia ma ke ʻano maoli wale nō, akā ʻo ka lāhui kanaka holoʻokoʻa.
