| Even though I do not live in Brazil, I feel that indigenous populations, and the forest are world sacred and should not be destroyed. Hopefully they'll hear this time. |

In addition to the displacement, the enormous impact on the flora and fauna, large dams pose environmental problems in all areas where there has been installed.
Problems related to the mass of standing water as a resurgence of Schistosomiasis with the Aswan Dam. This is a fatal disease caused by a parasitic worm living in stagnant fresh water. Make a giant dam in an area comprising Amazon flora and fauna much more extensive than in the desert will cause a proliferation of such problems.
The Three Gorges Dam in central China, apart from the problems of displacement of origin, must move even more than expected because the soils are eroded and collapsed around the reservoir. The dam gets stuck in the silt and may rupture.
Given all these examples, the results are far from conclusive, why continue this? Consideration should be given to other energy sources (wind, solar, etc.)
In french :
En plus des déplacements de populations, de l'impact énorme sur la faune et la flore, les grands barrages posent des problèmes écologiques dans tous les endroits où il y en a eu d'installés.
Des problèmes liés à la masse des eaux stagnantes comme une recrudescence de la Bilharziose avec le barrage d'ASSOUAN. Il s'agit d'une maladie mortelle due à un ver parasite habitant des eaux douces stagnantes. Faire un gigantesque barrage dans une zone amazonienne comprenant une faune et une flore bien plus étendue que dans un désert causera une multiplication de ce genre de problèmes.
Le barrage des Trois-Gorges, au centre de la Chine, en dehors des problèmes de déplacement de population d'origine, doit en déplacer encore plus que prévu car les sols s'effondrent et s'érodent autour du lac de retenu. Le barrage s'enlise sous les limons et risque la rupture.
Devant tous ces exemples dont les résultats sont loin d'être concluants, pourquoi continuer dans cette voie ? Il conviendrait de réfléchir à d'autres sources d'énergie (vent, solaire,etc) |

| When are we going to learn that there is more than just one way of living a human life, more than just one definition of progress, more than just one measure of what is valuable? It is time that we stopped the savage plundering of the earth, and the utter disregard for the people who live on it. |

La forêt Amazonienne est le poumon de notre planète, la noyer voudrait dire, noyer la planète.
Il faudra bien qu'un jour ou l'autre écouter le cri de la population. Nous sommes citoyens du monde et sommes en droit de faire entendre nos voix. |

Madame La Présidente,
Monsieur l'Ambassadeur du Brésil
Quand l'être humain verra dans l'être humain un membre d'une collectivité bien plus vaste (l'univers) et qu'il en respectera toute forme de vie, plutôt que ne voir que des sources de profits matériels (pour certains au détriment d'autres) l'humanité aura fait un grand pas.
Stop au projet Belo Monte.
Depuis le temps que le chef Raoni tente de se faire entendre, il est odieux que le gouvernement brésilien continue ce
projet.
Il faut que la décision de la cour fédérale du Para soit non seulement confirmée, mais surtout que ce projet soit abandonné. Ce ne sont pas des indemnisations financières qui sauvegarderont le patrimoine environnemental, culturel et humain de cette région !
Honte aux gouvernements qui laissent spollier ses peuples !!!
Cécile Bonhommet

| I am disgusted to hear that the Brasil government have approved the destruction of these poor people's homes & basically to wipe out a culture, not to mention the rainforest & millions of unique species it contains. You can guarantee this will have a very negative impact on tourism, THE AMAZON is Brasil's international claim to fame & you are authorising its destruction in the name of progress. What makes the indigenous people, rainforest & its inhabitants less important than a stupid dam?! (insert obscenities here). SHAME ON YOU BRASIL! |

This is not only a crime against the tribes and wildlife of the Belo Monte, but an environmental crime against the whole world, our heritage, and the global ecosystem.
Why not build a nuclear powerplant, some oil riggs and a couple of mines while you're at it?
Please stop this anti environmental progress which is going against all our better knowledge and experience of today, and at the end of the day - think about life! |

| Displacing 40.000 indigenous people's when there is so much national and international outcry at the prospect is irresponsible and insensitive. There mist be another alternative to this dam project to create the energy required. Brazil is a leader in the international field of renewables - now is the time to show your prowess. Do not make your indigenous population suffer. They are your heritage, they are your soul. Look after them. |
