Xingu River

The Xingu River is a significant waterway in Brazil, flowing mainly through the Amazon rainforest. It is about 1,200 kilometers (750 miles) long and is known for its diverse ecosystems and rich biodiversity. The river supports various indigenous communities and wildlife, making it vital for both local cultures and environmental health. The Xingu River basin is also impacted by development projects like dams, which can affect its natural flow and the habitats around it. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensure the river remains a vital resource for both people and the environment.
