The Amazon and Xingu rivers are dangerous to the comfort of the Amazon rainforest, since it has been noted, with the planned Belo Monte dam, to be a threat to the area and its populace.

An editorial on Peace, Earth and Justice News, greatly criticized the construction of the new hydroelectric dam, which is set to cross the Xingu River, by stating, that it will destroy a widespread area of the woodland plus intimidate the continued existence of many of the native people, who dwell in the tropical area.

The article's author, Joan Russow is demanding from people, to make a stand, regarding the construction of the new dam, which will be one of the biggest in the world.

She said that Brazil has better means of providing its future energy needs, than devastating the grand Xingu River, its rainforests and its inhabitants.

Commenting on the dam, the Brazilian Government has formerly stated that the region, which will be flooded, has been vigilantly considered and the size has already been reduced.

Joan Russow is expecting that the local inhabitants will come up and speak, so that, this can be stopped.
