PSA by Request - BELO MONTE DAM PROJECT, BRAZIL Belo Monte hydroelectric mega-dam will inundate at least 400,000 hectares of forest, an area bigger than the Panama Canal, thus expelling 40,000 indigenous and local populations and destroying habitat valuable for many species - all to produce electricity at a high social, economic and environmental cost, which could easily be generated with greater investments in energy efficiency. It was brought to my attention that there is a petition we all can sign to help support these indigenous people and the Amazon. Please take a second to check it out below or comparable petitions that are available. Thank you. http://amazonwatch.org/take-action/stop-the-belo-monte-monster-dam
