Brazil’s
government – host of the “Rio+20” UN Conference on Sustainable
Development devoted to sustainable development and sustaining ecosystems
– is planning to build 60 dams on tributaries to the Amazon --
including the controversial $11 billion Belo Monte project. Industrial
destruction of intact primary rainforest ecosystems based upon ecocide
and genocide is not “the world we want” – a motto of Rio+20. These plans
for massive Amazon dam construction reveal Brazil’s meaningless
rhetoric regarding environmental sustainability and sustainable
development, as they hypocritically continue destroying key regional and
global ecosystems. Brazil’s deceptive doublespeak regarding sustaining
ecology must not be allowed to stand unchallenged during Rio+20. Stand
with brave indigenous protestors who recently dismantled a portion of
Belo Monte’s construction, as we call upon all Rio+20 delegates to
demand Brazil cancel Belo Monte and other Amazon rainforest destroying
dams, embracing instead a program of sustainable development based upon
standing primary rainforests.
