You're traveling down the Amazon when suddenly you spot a flash of pink.
It's a male Amazon river dolphin.
It's thought that the pinker he is, the more attractive he'll be to a potential mate.
This unique dolphin species is native to the Amazon, and its future is in peril.
As of 2022, humans have deforested 17% of the Amazon.
And scientists warn that we may be approaching a tipping point — when enough of the forest is lost that large swaths of the ecosystem die.
It's like removing bricks from a house.
Take one or two and the house will keep standing.
But remove too many and the whole thing will start to cave in.
What happens in the Amazon affects the rest of the planet.
