“…The Lajeado dam was built on the Tocantins River in 2001, displacing 6483 inhabitants according to official records (THEMAG 1996). Approximately 175 fishers and more than 1500 residents of indigenous areas were not formally acknowledged in the environmental impact assessment (EIA) required in the licensing process (Lima et al 2015). These fishers were therefore not eligible for compensation, despite substantial dam-related impacts to their livelihoods (THEMAG 1996).…”

We analyze the invisibility of fisheries and inadequacy of fishers' participation in the process of hydropower development in the Amazon, focusing on gaps between legally mandated and actual outcomes. Using Ostrom's institutional design principles for assessing common-pool resource management, we selected five case studies from Brazilian Amazonian watersheds to conduct an exploratory comparative case-study analysis. We identify similar problems across basins, including deficiencies in the dam licensing process; critical data gaps; inadequate stakeholder participation; violation of human rights; neglect of fishers' knowledge; lack of organization and representation by fishers' groups; and lack of governmental structure and capacity to manage dam construction activities or support fishers after dam construction. Fishers have generally been marginalized or excluded from decision-making regarding planning, construction, mitigation, compensation, and monitoring of the social-ecological impacts of hydroelectric dams. Addressing these deficiencies will require concerted investments and efforts by dam developers, government agencies and civil society, and the promotion of inter-sectorial dialogue and cross-scale participatory planning and decision-making that includes fishers and their associations.

“…As pesquisas aplicadas no Tocantins sobre os processos de mobilização social e comunitária em torno dos impactos humanos provocados pelas obras de desenvolvimento destacam a atuação das pessoas atingidas por barragens, que ocupam papéis de liderança em espaços de decisão, em que muitas estão engajadas nos movimentos sociais (Carvalho-Silva & A Subjetividade de uma Família atingida por Barragem na situação do Deslocamento Forçado Lima, Marques, Ertzogue, Ferreira, & Lima, 2015;Parente & Guerrero, 2012;Zagallo & Ertzogue, 2018). A formação, o fortalecimento da comunidade e a criação das redes de reciprocidades, após o deslocamento forçado e os desastres, têm sido estudados pelos teóricos dos deslocamentos (Oliver-Smith, 2012).…”

Este estudo de caso teve por objetivo compreender a articulação entre a subjetividade individual e social dos membros de uma família atingida por barragem no contexto do deslocamento forçado. O referencial teórico do trabalho orientou-se pela teoria da subjetividade, desenvolvida por Fernando González-Rey em uma perspectiva cultural-histórica, e na teoria do apego ao lugar. Os participantes foram a mãe, o pai e a filha, removidos para um reassentamento rural no Tocantins em 2001. A partir da utilização da dinâmica conversacional, da entrevista semiestruturada, de um inventário sociodemográfico e da elaboração de um genograma familiar, foram levantados os eixos de análise, que apontaram características de liderança nos membros, impactos na dinâmica familiar e repercussões negativas no apego ao lugar. Sugere-se considerar, nas avaliações desse tipo de impacto, as dimensões da subjetividade individual e social da pessoa atingida por barragem.

“…The logic of political and economic power prevails over environmental issues. However, the impacts on biodiversity are observed in different hydropower plants (Jamari River dam, in the state of Rondônia -Samuel hydroelectric plant, in the Brazilian Amazon, whose lake flooded 540 km² of forest; the Xingu River dam -Belo Monte hydroelectric plant, also in the Amazon, with more than 200,000 animals rescued, among many other hydroelectric plants [44,45,37].…”

Much of the electric energy produced within the extensive territory of Brazil (8,511,000 km²) comes from large and small reservoirs built to produce hydroelectric power, which flood large natural areas, negatively impacting regional biodiversity. Huge reservoirs originating from Amazon river dams, such as Balbina (2,360 km², with 26,000 wild animals rescued), in the 1970s, and Tucuruí (2,430 km², 284,000 animals rescued, including more than 19,000 howler monkeys), in the 1980s, caused huge losses of natural forest habitats and the consequent decimation of wild fauna. After being rescued, wild animals were released in neighboring areas, whose territories and spaces were already occupied by local animals. In the face of competitive exclusion or because of the principle of xenophobia, these displaced animals ended up dead or experienced truly little success. As well as causing the loss of regional biodiversity, the reservoir creates a vacuum in the previously continuous environment, causing habitat fragmentation. In addition to the Amazon biome, other rivers in different biomes, such as the Pantanal, have also been threatened with the proliferation of dams. There, the hydrological regime influences nutrient cycling, ecological community, phenology, upstream migration of fish and other factors. Fish migrate to the headwaters for spawning behavior that takes place at the headwaters. If they encounter obstacles, such as hydroelectric dams, the migration is interrupted. This review aims to assess the effects on biodiversity of major hydroelectric plants, with their dams and reservoirs, and discusses viable proposals for damage mitigation, environmental compensation, and biodiversity conservation actions.
