"This is a landmark decision for establishing that prior consultations with indigenous communities and other traditional populations, as well as the analysis of cumulative impacts of dam cascades, must be taken seriously by the Brazilian government from the earliest phases of planning at the river basin level,” stated Brent Millikan, Amazon Program Director of International Rivers.

Munduruku indigenous communities warned of tensions upon the arrival of the military and scientists to the nearby town of Itaituba in March, saying that . In November 2012, one Munduruku indigenous leader was shot and killed by federal police and several people were hit by police gunfire as a result of “Operation Eldorado” further upstream in the Tapajós Basin. “Operation Eldorado” was meant to clear illegal miners from a government-operated mining district, but resulted in clashes with indigenous people who claimed that the true aim of the military operation was to protect construction of a dam on the Teles Pires River against protests by affected indigenous people."
