For nearly 30 years, Chief Raoni has fought tirelessly to stop The Belo Monte Dam being built in his beloved Amazon Rainforest. Tragically, this is now starting to happen, illegally, as there are still many outstanding lawsuits against it. It willdevastate the Xingu River which Chief Raoni's people, the Kayapo, need for their very existence. It will be the third largest dam in the world and the most inefficient. Many other tribes will be affected and the Rainforest will be irreversibly decimated. Many species will be wiped out.
Brazil's president, Dilma Rousseff, plans to build a further 59 dams in The Rainforest, plus a total of over 400 throughout Brazil before 2030. It is insanity.
We *cannot* continue living in this manner, allowing others to destroy our planet for profit and greed, or for energy to feed our insatiable appetite for materialism.
Please join with us to help Chief Raoni stop Belo Monte, and to stop deforestation in The Amazon Rainforest.
Phone/email/write to your Embassies of Brazil, your major TV and Radio stations, newspapers and magazines, tell them what is happening, for we are now way beyond The Eleventh Hour. You can use the Facebook 'Search' box at the top of your page to contact them.

+3Yup. Humans sure are the most intelligent people on the planet aren't they? Dumbasses. Destroying our own habitat. What other animal do you know of that does that? We're never happy unless we're lining our pockets at someone elses expense. If everyone lived WITH nature like some tribes-people, the world would be a better place. But nope. That won't ever happen. We're so stupid we'll just end up destroying ourselves, taking half the planet with us. The people doing and allowing this are nothing short of evil. A waste of air.
"Since the course of the water won't be altered, and there won't be much variation in the speed of its flow, (the project) won't have a major influence on the habitat of ornamental fish species used for fishing," he said.
Judge Martins did, however, say that the wider environmental impact of the project "could only be felt and analysed once the work was completed, as the studies into its effects were only forecasts of what could happen".
He also said that any work would have to comply with the regulations laid down by Brazil's Indian Affairs Department (Funai) and the National Environment Agency, Ibama."
