Thank you for this Information about Pangue dam project in Pehuenche-land.
I'm working in a group supporting a cultural project of the Mapuche indians.
The Peheunche are the andine part of the Mapuche people, so we are aware
what's going on at Alto Bio Bio river. We made a Fax Action in February this
year to the same problem. We still hoped that IFC will not finance ENDESA.
The last information we got (from a environmental group in Norway which I met
on the UNSAID-Festival here in Freiburg/Germany) was, that IFC will decide
in july about their financal involvment to this project. Is this decisision
now definitively the ultimate that they will finance this mega-project?
We try to get more information about Alto Bio Bio dam project. The GABB
(= Grupo de Acci"n por el B!o B!o) has a lot of information about that.
We are also looking for posibilities to prevent that the SIEMENS coorporation
will have profits by destroying the environment with the construction of
the hydroelectric plant there.
We hope that a lot of angry angry people want to fight against such a
mega-project. Please give more information about the Alto Bio Bio project
to this board or to /APC/DAMS/GENERAL.
