Teles Pires: the river most impacted by dams in the Amazon

 In 2011, the first project in a series of hydroelectric dams planned for the Teles Pires River was auctioned. Under the shadow of larger hydroelectric projects in the Amazon that mobilized great narratives such as Belo Monte, Santo Antônio and Jirau, over the next decade the Teles Pires River saw the development of four large hydroelectric dams, becoming the most impacted river in the Amazon basin.

This model of energy production is increasingly unsustainable, especially in the Amazon. Once known for its waterfalls and green waters, with sacred places for indigenous people, and exuberant fauna and flora, today the Teles Pires sees its course becoming a barren region, with a drop in the population of fish and chelonians, and large extensions of forest rotting on its banks under the hydroelectric dam lakes. A river under the sign of death.
