Rio de Janeiro: A judge has suspended an injunction stopping construction from starting at the 11GW Belo Monte dam in the Brazilian Amazon region.. Ronaldo Destêrro, a federal judge in the state of Pará, had ruled that the partial preliminary environmental licence awarded to the Norte Energia consortium be suspended because the company had not complied with environmental and social conditions required by Ibama, the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources.
