Xingu River & Belo Monte dam

Now here’s a curious tale? On one hand you can see some evidence of a construction company making an effort to limit biodiversity loss; but on the other we notice that almost everything has gone wrong with their plans. The results were not those planned. The prosecutor is looking at ‘ethnocide’ and I agree with her. An entire way of life is at risk, and the present situation is similar to when the Yankees put the Native American tribes into reservations ~ awful. This still highlights the need for an IECC, and how the dispossesed have so little say against megacorporations. Thoughts?
