Belo Monte's tribal-protection efforts questioned

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Brazilian government agencies and the consortium building the US$13-billion Belo Monte dam have failed to take numerous steps required of them to minimize the massive, 11,283-megawatt project's impact on nearby Amazon tribes, says the nonprofit Socio-Environmental Institute (ISA).

All but four of the 19 tribal-protection conditions required under the dam's licensing remain unaddressed in whole or in part by project stakeholders, says the Feb. 19 report by ISA, a respected Brazilian environmental group. Those stakeholders include government bodies such as the National Indian Agency (Funai) and ICMBio-the arm of the Environment Ministry that creates and maintains federally protected areas-as well as the dam consortium, which is called Norte Energia (NESA) and is led by the federal electricity holding company Eletrobras.
