由于筑坝、改道和污染,中国的河流正在接近生态崩溃的边缘。今天,中国拥有超过25,800座大坝,已经成为了世界上大坝最多的国家。这些项目迫使一千多万人离开他们的家园和土地,其中很多人至今还在承受移民和迁居带来的影响。 América LatinaA América Latina se le conoce por la fuerza y belleza de sus sistemas fluviales – la Amazonía, la cuenca mas larga del mundo; los ríos Paraguay y Paraná y sus ecosistemas de humedales; el Usumacinta que desciende a través de las selvas Maya; y las aguas intocadas de los ríos de la Patagonia. Estos magníficos ríos son fuente de vida para una increíble diversidad de especies de plantas y animales y para el bienestar de los pueblos indígenas tradicionales y los habitantes de las veras de los ríos. América LatinaAmérica Latina é conhecida pela força e beleza dos seus sistemas fluviais – o Amazonas, com a maior bacia hidrográfica do mundo; os rios Paraguai e Paraná e o seu complexo de áreas úmidas; o Usamacinta que flui pelas florestas da região dos Mayas; e as águas prístinas da Patagônia. Estes rios são berçários de vida para uma diversidade enorme de espécies de plantas e animais, e fontes de bem-estar pelos povos tradicionais – indígenas e ribeirinhos. South AsiaGreat rivers are the cultural and economic backbone of South Asia. The Brahmaputra, Indus, Narmada and Ganges have contributed to the rise and prosperity of some of the earliest civilizations in history and today are the source of livelihood for millions. The South Asian river basins, most of which have their source in the Himalayas, support rich ecosystems and irrigate millions of hectares of fields, thereby supporting some of the highest population densities in the world.

Rivers play a central role in the lives of millions of people in AfricaAlthough Africa’s great rivers are considered "under-dammed" by global standards, the continent’s large dams have consistently been built at the expense of rural communities. Africa’s dams have done considerable social, environmental and economic damage, often with complete disregard for the human rights of dam-affected communities, and have left a trail of "development-induced poverty" in their wake. Sadly, these projects have not led to progress in electrifying the huge proportion of Africans now without electricity. Latin AmericaChinaView this page in: Chinese
China has more large dams than any other country in the world and Chinese companies are rapidly exporting their dam-building model overseas. Chinese banks and companies are involved in constructing some 300 dams in 66 different countries, particularly in Africa and Southeast Asia. |
