Represas hidroeléctricas en la Amazonia brasileña: impactos ambientales y sociales

Abstract: Las represas amazónicas de Brasil tienen importantes impactos sociales y ambientales que sistemáticamente se subestiman en los estudios de impacto ambiental (EIA) presentados para la concesión de licencias. Los impactos incluyen el desplazamiento de la población, la pérdida de pesquerías, la metilación del mercurio y las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. Se ha ignorado al personal técnico del Instituto Brasileño de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales Renovables (IBAMA), responsable de la concesión de l… Show more

“…However, even in regions of great water availability and small demand in relative terms, conflicts may arise, as verified in the Amazon region, where hydroelectric dams have been causing problems with indigenous and riverside peoples, as well as problems of biodiversity/ fish reproduction, widely reported by the media, and subject of scientific works (FEARNSIDE, 2019;ROCK, 2019). Water supply is characterized not only by the available flow, but also by the quality of water, which, once degraded, generates scarcity.…”

“…Faria (2012) indica como as comunidades originárias podem ser respeitadas pela manutenção do multiculturalismo e refuta as práticas do turismo, ao passo que também mostra o quanto que o saber tradicional leva a um modo de vida alternativo, associado ao bem viver. Cavalcante e Herrera (2017) e Cavalcante et al (2020a/b) problematizam a incorporação da Amazônia como provedora de energia, tema também estudado por Fearnside (2019). Por seu turno, Araújo e Vieira (2019) indicam o quanto a ideologia do expansionismo produtivo está presente na Amazônia, bem como apontam seus efeitos e propõem alternativas que envolvem o uso de produtos amazônicos .…”

“…The composition of the bird community is related to the landscape (MARTIN, 1985;ROTH, 1976) and intrinsic factors which are constantly changing. In the south of Amazon, this change is due to the increasing agricultural areas, pastures, road creation (DAVENPORT et al, 2017;FERRANTE;FEARNSIDE, 2020), hydroelectric plants (FEARNSIDE, 2019), and later increasing urban agglomerations (CÔRTES; SILVA-JUNIOR, 2021), forming the arc of deforestation.…”
