The hydroelectric frontier in the Amazon is expanding due to the construction of large projects such as Santo Antonio and Jirau in
the Madeira River, proposed projects in the
Tapajós River, and Belo Monte in the big bend
of the Xingu River (licensed in February 2010).
Large projects that generate energy in the
Amazon region provoke political, social, and
environmental confl icts. These confl icts affect
the credibility of the Environmental Licensing
Evaluation process. Discourse from social
groups that oppose development policies for
the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Dam project offer insight into the origins and progression of
these confl icts. Criticisms of the Experts Panel
Network created to analyze the Environmental
Impact Assessment in Belo Monte and other
sectors of the society are evaluated. |
