Le portail rinoceros d’informations sur les initiatives citoyennes pour la construction d’un autre monde a été intégré au nouveau site Ritimo pour une recherche simplifiée et élargie.
Ce site (http://www.rinoceros.org/) constitue une archive des articles publiés avant 2008 qui n'ont pas été transférés.
Le projet rinoceros n’a pas disparu, il continue de vivre pour valoriser les points de vue des acteurs associatifs dans le monde dans le site Ritimo.

The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), part of the Organization of American States (OAS), has officially requested the Brazilian Government to immediately suspend the Belo Monte Dam Complex in the Amazonian state of Pará, pending proper consultations with potentially affected indigenous peoples living in the Xingu river basin.
Belo Monte would negatively impact indigenous peoples and other traditional communities in the Xingu River basin, particularly those living along a 100km-stretch of the river known as the Volta Grande (Big Bend) that would be diverted into artificial reservoirs, depriving them of water and fish.
The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) confirmed that the Brazilian Government failed to uphold the rights of indigenous peoples to free, prior, informed, and culturally appropriate consultation regarding the project, as required by various international agreements.
