Conservation groups are highlighting that hydroelectric dams, widely praised as clean energy for the climate, pose a threat to endangered big cats such as jaguars and tigers. Dam projects flood and fragment forest habitats, cutting off the corridors these animals need to survive. Campaigners are calling for better forest protection so that endangered big cats are not sacrificed in the name of green energy.
