Stop Belo Monte dam, save rainforest
Brazil's President, Dilma Rousseff, is launching construction of the world's third-largest dam in Belo Monte in the Amazon Rainforest, and plans for 59 more. This hydro-electric power station steals and destroys native lands, renders 40,000 people homeless, and threatens our global climate as well as extinction of rainforest animals.

Chief Raoni of the Kayapo has led warriors in opposition, and occupiers from around the world have disrupted construction of the dam - but construction has begun. They need legal help, sponsorship for lawyers, and worldwide attention to this immediate destruction of a large part of the rainforest, which is the first of 60 dams that will destroy tribes, rainforest habitats, and render animals extinct.
