| from: http://www.amazonasmagazine.com/ Brasilia, Brazil: In a surprising move, IBAMA, the administrative arm of the Brazilian Ministry of the Environment, suspended the environmental licensing process of the controversial São Luiz do Tapajós Dam in the Brazilian Amazon on April 20, 2016. The move comes just one day after the federal agency for indigenous affairs in Brazil, FUNAI, published a technical report confirming that a 178,000-hectare territory along the Tapajós River, known as "Sawre Muybu," should be demarcated and protected as traditional lands of the indigenous Munduruku people, in accordance with the Brazilian constitution. The news marks a rapid about-face for the government, which has strongly pushed for the hydroelectric dam and, according to many reports, repeatedly violated the Munduruku's human rights. São Luiz do Tapajós is largest of a suite of projects that represent the most aggressive dam-building incursion into the Amazon yet. |
