BRASIL: Controversial Belo Monte Dam Project Approved.

BBC/    Brasil has granted an environmental licence for the construction of the controversial Belo Monte hydro-electric dam in the Amazon rainforest.
The dam project on the Xingu river, a tributary of the Para River, was abandoned in the 1990s after national and worldwide protests. The lives of up to 40,000 indigenous people could be affected by flooding the 500 sq km of land.
