Belize faces Privy Council hearing on Chalillo dam
The Privy Council begins a two day hearing on Wednesday to decide whether Belize can proceed with the Canadian backed Chalillo dam on the Macal River. Opponents argue the 830 million US project will flood 10 hectares of Maya forest, threaten archeological sites, and provide flawed geological data. The case pits Belizean electricity needs against rainforest protection and cultural heritage in a long running dispute involving Fortis BECOL and BACONGO.
