			<description>What ever they do it will end up a loss of life to the world and a pocket full of money to a chosen few

just make it deeper and so the water can flow when it rains  clear out most of the mangro so the river can breath 

like most rivers in brasil all are on there last death rolls .

to many people fishing out the fish 
to many people shrimping shelling just killing of there furture 

and the tree huggers ho dont kill the mangro as they help the fish , well in some cases they do .
but in brasils case they trap all the trash bags , tires , wood , and other grabage whitch stop the flow and the rivers sand in near the mouth , and when it rains if floods whitch makes more trash in the water 

just choose a river in brasil and look i have been to all and it is the same except where no real citys are - FORREST ALLEN BROWN</description>

			<title>Hong Kong........Kind of an ecological favela.</title>

			<description>- Comparing the number of trees between a hugely populated area such as Hong Kong and Ribeira Valley, is like comparing the wealth per square meter of these same areas !
  Not worth...1 old cruzeiro !
- Have SP and Rio favelas, either downtown or favelas    more trees than Hong Kong ? Not sure...in my view ! Just look at aerial views available free in Internet !

In my view Hong Kong, SP and Rio, downtown and  favelas are ALL EXISTING ECOLOGICAL DISASTERS !!!    - ch.c.</description>

			<title>To dam or not to dam.</title>

			<description>The original width of Valo Grande was about 4 m (13 feet), just enough to allow the navigation of small boats. But the shortcut radically altered the river flow and accelerated erosion soon took place and the channel width jumped to 200 m (656 feet) only 50 years after its opening. 

The huge amount of transported sediments quickly sanded the Mar Pequeno, the sea in front of Iguape, a zone between the town and the Comprida Island. The port has become useless, rice crops dwindled and aggravated by the end of slave trade, the local economy went bankrupt. 

The assurity with wich hydro electric proponents speak is almost ludicrous.  The power of the hydro dynamic of these 'damn' projects seems to be a matter of prideful indifference.  

And nothing can go wrong, what presumptive ignorance of a flowing dynamic that has reached an equilibrium after millions of years.

I used to fly into Hong Kong, one of the things I noticed was there were no trees on any of the mountains, they were all made bare.  Kind of an ecological favela.

Lead paint and asbestos were good ideas at the time.
