Des organisations internationales type WWF ou Greenpeace aux petites associations locales étroitement spécialisées, de multiples acteurs sont mobilisés sur le terrain en faveur de la nature. De quoi trouver chaussure à son pied, du soutien financier à l’engagement actif… Lorsqu’on parle d’associations de défense de l’environnement, les deux noms qui viennent le plus spontanément à l’esprit sont souvent ceux du WWF (World Wild Fund) et de Greenpeace. La première revendique 4, 7 millions de membres à travers le monde, tandis que la seconde compte 3 millions d’adhérents.
Elles soutiennent des causes analogues, espèces menacées, écosystèmes à préserver ou à restaurer... Mais ce ne sont pas les seules associations internationales présentes en France. Grands anciens et petits nouveaux Au niveau hexagonal, c’est France Nature Environnement qui occupe le premier rang avec ses 850 000 adhérents. Bertrand Mauvy. WWF Brasil - WWF Brasil -
AMAZON WATCH » Supporting Indigenous Peoples, Protecting the Amazon. Brazil's Belo Monte Dam. Sacrificing the Amazon and its Peoples for Dirty Energy Traditional fishing in the Xingu.
Photo Credit: Christian Poirier The Brazilian Government is building the world's third largest hydroelectric dam on one of the Amazon's major tributaries, the Xingu River. The Belo Monte Dam complex is designed to divert 80% of the Xingu River's flow, devastating an area of over 1,500 square kilometers of Brazilian rainforest while resulting in the forced displacement of between 20,000 - 40,000 people. The project is causing grave and direct impacts to the land and livelihood of thousands of riverine and urban families, as well as 1,000 indigenous people from several communities, while provoking profound indirect impacts throughout the Xingu basin's communities, rivers, and forests.

The MPF cited serious irregularities including inadequate socio-environmental impact studies and the lack of consultation with indigenous communities in the region. The move raised concerns among the company's investors, prompting stock to drop 7.5% immediately following reports on growing scrutiny from Brazil's federal authorities. Belo Monte Dam Project.

February 12, 2012. Belo Monte is a controversial hydropower plant that is being built in the Xingu River, one of the largest rivers in the Amazon basin. For 20 years indigenous groups, rural communitties and environmentalists have fought against the construction. President Dilma authorized the building after a highly controversial licensing process. Greenpeace flew over the area where the dam will be built (known as Volta Grande) and Altamira, the city that is the base for the building project, to expose the increase of deforestation in the region.
