Xingu River / Statement-DeclarationsFinal Declaration of the Indigenous Peoples Participating in the Xingu Forever Alive Encounter, May 19-23, 2008We, peoples of the Xingu River, do not want to hear any more about this story of dams on the Xingu River. We do not want our fish and our animals dead, and our children going hungry. We want our forest to remain standing; we want our fishes alive, our game alive; we want our gardens and we want to keep our remedies. Related content:

In Defense of Life and the Xingu RiverWe wish to express our concern about the possible construction of a complex of hydroelectric dams on the Xingu River. If these large dams are constructed on the Volta Grande (Big Bend) of the Xingu River they will affect indigenous peoples, agricultural communities, the forest and its biodiversity, and would harm life in the Xingu basin.
