Answer:
Dams and their Effects on Forests and Tribal People!
When asked to name different causes of deforestation, few people will mention hydroelectric dams as being one of them. Even fewer will include them as a cause of human rights violations. However, dams constitute a major direct and indirect cause of forest loss and most of them have resulted in widespread human rights abuses.

Answer:
A dam is a structure that prevents or limits the flow of surface water or underground streams. Dam-created reservoirs not only prevent flooding, but also provide water for activities such as irrigation, human consumption, industrial use, aquaculture, and navigation.
Explanation:
- Dam construction forces people who live in the forests to leave their homes. It also has an impact on wildlife habitat, and as a result of dam construction, animals migrate to other areas. It also disrupts the natural flow of water, affecting the growth of both plants and animals.
- However, these dams are also responsible for forest destruction. They are to blame for the degradation of catchment areas, the loss of flora and fauna, the rise of water-borne diseases, the disruption of forest ecosystems, and the rehabilitation and resettlement of tribal peoples.
Thus this is the answer.
