Good read!! About time they put a stop to ruining waterways

[fairdeal]

The overall effect of the dam stoppage now is that it is only temporarily put on hold. There are 43 dams proposed for the Tapajos River alone and eventually all or most of them will be built. The Belo Monte project for example was put on hold for years but it was built regardless of the protests.

There are only 3 clearwater rivers in Brazil and years down the road they will all have so many dams the fish industry will be in complete shambles and people will say what a shame but nevertheless the dams will be there. In a country where blatant corruption and payoffs and bribery are the norm what else can be expected.

I was so happy with this article until the cold hard reality hit me like the ocean spray off the pacific.

If history is any guide then this will only be another example of mankinds blatant disregard for nature and the devastation we cause in the natural order of things. It is truly sad to think that in a few short years there is the very distinct possibility that we will no longer be able to find hundreds of species of fish and in particular plecos in the rivers they have thrived in for thousands of years.
