Original: Protecting the Amazon’s Rivers Means Defending Human Rights

The argument holds that river ecosystems and human rights must be defended together, as dam construction, pollution and extraction threaten both the waterways and the people living along them. The message is circulating among environmental and human rights groups discussing the Amazon's future.
