This is happening now. This image has to reach the rest of the world. The Kayapo being expelled from their homes for the construction of the Belo Monte Dam, which will flood 400.000 acres of the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil.
Trend.it.
this is the most horrible thing
This is seriously the first post I’ve seen on Tumblr that mentions this.
THIS IS NOT HAPPENING NOW. this picture is from 2008
it’s nice that you wanna pay attention to us but y’all are LATE. it’s actually quite telling that so many people think this is recent news, which means that for the last 6 years you haven’t really heard about this at all.
but yeah this is over and done. construction is pretty much over and Belo Monte is predicted to start functioning sometime this year (2015).
in short, smh. not ONCE have i seen a post about Brazil on my dash (that wasn’t reblogged by a brazilian friend) that wasn’t completely outdated or plain old false information. source things. fact check. follow actual brazilian ppl, south american ppl, idk. you can do better
