In the Amazon rainforest the Brazilian government have decided to
allow a massive hydroelectric dam to be built.
The Belo Monte dam would
be the third largest in the world. The idea is that it will store
enough water to provide electricity to twenty three million homes.
But
lots of people think that building the dam is a really bad idea. They
reckon that large parts of the rainforest will be destroyed in the
process. Not only would that be bad for the environment - they think it
would also be devastating for the indigenous tribes that live in the
area.
