Summer heat, so I decided to go to the river to travel the legendary Amazon. This really is a very exciting discovery. This trip for me the experience was surprised about people and the scenery.
Amazon River is the largest river in the world. Its majestic waters flowing into the sea when the sea has pushed hundreds of kilometers away. This is a human river was not yet tamed. The lives of the people on both sides of the river is completely dependent on the Amazon River. They drain the Amazon river to life, and to irrigate crops. They catch fish from the Amazon River in a most classic. That they used a toxic plant leaves, pound, then drop into a water area of the Amazon River. The fish that swim in the toxic waters resurfaced forced to take the air. So the men here can easily use sharp skewer fish hit. They catch fish so, how many fish in one day? They also make the source of contaminated water, the fish fry and eggs will die. Although Amazon has about 5000 river fish species, the number of them are also well represented, because this river almost still wild. But with such a fish, the river did not bring an abundant source of food for humans. Residents living on both sides of the Amazon River about 7 million people. Mostly the very poor. The small village on the banks of the Amazon River with very low living conditions. They do not have electricity and clean water to their homes. The small wooden houses, built on wooden piles to avoid system flooded during the rainy season. Some houses, the majority of the houses were designed as well, we can float on the water when the rainy season comes. Some houses on the waterfront, in ten years had to rework home to 4 times because of the change of the water. Humans here depend entirely on the river, they are forced to adapt to the river. Maybe in the future, people will tame the river, but at the present time, there is not yet a hydroelectric plant built on the Amazon River, does not have a bridge crossing the river Amazon . It is still very wild with dense primeval forests are still a lot of mystery two lucky river. People grow bananas, cassava, soybeans, wheat on both sides of the river. But their cultivation level is still very backward. Their houses called home only, but the fact it was only very temporary huts. Where lack almost all the modern amenities of man. I do not know the kids go to school here? But an almost wild life, the danger from crocodiles in the river Amazon makes their lives very hard. But in recent years, more deforestation, more shallow river water, human life more difficult. Many people have left the village by the river, to live in a city nearby. But it really was a mistake. With qualified employees, their production is very difficult to find work in the cities. So their family life became very difficult, as everything in the city will be paid in cash. But if living in rural areas, they can grow agricultural products to cater for the life of the family, they have to sell them for money hể more!
Ending a trip to the greatest rivers in the world. I feel like I just came back in history to a time immemorial, the time that humans rely on wildlife and nature. The struggle with nature's poorest people line the banks of the Amazon River can persist for decades more. These porters innocent, bewildered by the natives here do I feel pity. They seem to have been separated from the modern civilization of man. Their lives are not in peace and happiness among the green of the jungle, and the mighty river as I had imagined. I wondered, what factors create human development? I also love the city and see more of my own village. Because if you compare life in my country, and the lives of people in these villages, is both different worlds. We hope that the economy in the early development of this place. To people here have a better life. The people here are quiet, their lives are still wild and mysterious as the legendary Amazon River so!
