Mrs Dilma, the President of Brazil, has given her approval for the construction of an enormous hydroelectric central (the world's third largest one).
This means the death sentence for ALL the tribes living at the shores of the river because the barrage will flood more or less 400 000 hectares of the forest.
More than 40 000 indigenous peoples will have to find other surroundings where they will be able to survive. The destruction of the natural habitat, the deforestation and the disappearance of several species of plants and animals will be a fait accompli.
We know that a simple image is the equivalent of a thousand words, it shows the price to be paid for the 'quality of life' of our so-called 'modern comforts'. There is no space in the world anymore for those who live differently. Everything has to be smoothed away, that everyone, in the name of globalization must lose his and her identity and way of living.
If this touches you, I urge and implore you to forward this message to all your friends, relatives and acquaintances. Thank you in the name of life, nature and biodiversity.
