Xingu tribe in the Amazon lost last week their attempt to stop the construction of the giant Belo Monte dam on a Brazilian court. The dam will flood 500 square kilometers of their country. bahan ne
In September, a federal judge decided that the building had to stop because it destroys fishing in the river. The order has now been rejected in an delstatsret. Xingu people have declared the dam war to the death.
Judge Maria do Carmo Cardoso said at the same time, according to AFP that the indigenous people of course have the right to be heard, but it need not be before the decision is made, and that their statements, moreover, are only indicative. Belo Monte
Belo Monte dam will produce 11,000 megawatts and will be one of the world's largest. bahan ne The capacity is equivalent to 11 percent of Brazil's current capacity. The building, which is already bahan ne underway, is expected to provide jobs for 20,000 people.
Forest people say that the project will destroy their way of life and nature. 16,000 xinguer will be directly displaced from their traditional forest areas. The dam will affect 40,000 people, according to environmental organizations and xinguerne itself.
The next step is Brazil's Supreme Court. Behind the appeal is the federal prosecutor in the state of Para, which will house the dam. The agency supports xinguerne and tens of thousands of Brazilian protesters bahan ne in that the indigenous peoples were not consulted. That requirement is in the Constitution.
The current president, Dilma Rousseff, is a keen supporter of the power plant. She and the government says the dam construction will not affect xinguernes original areas. In addition, you will make an effort not to destroy nature and the environment. Same thing happens elsewhere
The Declaration is basically bahan ne not binding. The U.S. has until 2010 resisted signing the declaration on legal grounds, but has bowed to pressure from its indigenous bahan ne peoples (Native Americans).
Barack Obama believed that by signing the declaration would make it possible to assign Native Americans more land and thus make an effort to reduce crime and social deprivation in the population.
In Malaysia runs a case similar to that of Brazil, where the Bakun dam is controversial question. Here, a federal court unanimously in September rejected a native people complain of a hydroelectric power plant. The people of Sarawak want more compensation to give up their land.
In Sarawak said the court that if the indigenous people want more money for their land, they must find out by arbitration. The dam, which began in 1997, has cost $ 2.3 billion and has already created a reservoir bahan ne of 675 square kilometers.

Itaipu plant has been expanded in the year 2007 to 20 turbines each 700 MW, representing 14 GW in total. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itaipu_Dam There is no doubt that Itaipu has a major impact on nature and the area around the dam and the lake. Only the reservoir is 170 km long. Belo Monte will also have a major impact on the local environment, even if it is only at 11 GW. Remember: Avedøreværket has totaled 810 MW (= 0.81 GW) and it is a big power plant in Denmark. No matter what kind of plant they built would 14 or 11 GW fill part.
It is highly recommended to visit Itapu remember to take the 'special tour': http://www.itaipu.gov.br/en/turismo/specia ... next is an Eco-museum, which was a rather special experience, a museum with stuffed animals and posters where we were fully circulated by an armed guard. http://www.itaipu.gov.br/en/tourism/eco-mu ...
Whether it is wise to build the Belo Monte dam I do not know, but whatever bahan ne you do, it is something or someone who will be affected, it is not some white spots on the map where there is nothing. From Denmark we know that the ring 5 north of Copenhagen will give some resistance, although it might seem easy enough as seen from Stockholm or castle island.
Here in Norway we had the same problem in 1981 when they built a power plant in the middle of our indigenous peoples (the Sami) core area for their reindeer herding. http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alta-konflikten I attended several operations in support of the Sami - and would probably still do it, because we really have enough power and no poor became rich by destroying their reners pastures
