The government-planned hydroelectric Belo Monte dam would be the world's third-largest and would displace tens of thousands of indigenous people and local farmers who depend upon the Xingu tributary of the Amazon for their way of life. In 2008 over 1,000 of them assembled for a summit in Altamira to protest this proposed dam.
