Brazil approves a massive new dam, makes Indians cry
Pictured above is Chief Raoni of the Kayapo tribe native to the Brazilian state of Pará, seen weeping after being delivered the news that newly elected Brazilian president Dilma Vana Rousseff approved the construction of the Belo Monte hydroelectric dam that will flood the homeland of over 40,000 indigenous people, forcing them to relocate.
[A] death sentence [for] the peoples of Great Bend of the Xingu river [has been] enacted. Belo Monte will inundate at least 400,000 hectares of forest, an area bigger than the Panama Canal, thus expelling 40,000 indigenous and local populations and destroying habitat valuable for many species – all to produce electricity at a high social, economic and environmental cost, which could easily be generated with greater investments in energy efficiency.
