The title of this blog, “Can’t Stop the Waters of March”, is a reference to the song “Waters of March” composed by Bossa Nova legend Tom Jobim. Through imagery and metaphors, the song speaks of the rainfall that accompanies seasonal change in Brazil. However, recent droughts and floods in Brazil show how this previously stable cycle is becoming more and more disrupted. In this blog, I hope to provide an interesting look at the effects of climate change on one of Brazil’s (and the world’s) greatest treasures, the Amazonian Rainforest.
Luckily for my blog, Tom Jobim wrote lyrics to this song in both Portuguese and English, so any interested readers can take a look at what they say and not just take my word for it.
