Fraser, B. (2018). Dam building binge in Amazon will shred ecosystems, scientists warn. Science

First paragraph or article:
LIMA—Once upon a time, thousands of dorados, a giant among catfish, would swim more than 3000 kilometers from the mouth of the Amazon River to spawn during the austral autumn in Bolivia's Mamoré River, in the foothills of the Andes.
