文摘

We analyze three Environmental Impact Assessments in Brazilian Amazonia. Environmental Impact Assessments in Brazil are crucial but often inadequate. The BR-319 Road, Belo Monte Dam and Juruti mine have large biological negative impact. Fundamental reforms of licensing and decision making are needed. Three cost-effective tools could improve biodiversity assessments in EIAs.
