AI justification

Approval of ecologically destructive dam threatens critically endangered species and violates indigenous rights. | The approval directly undermines biodiversity conservation (SDG 15) and indigenous land rights (UNDRIP), while accelerating climate change impacts (SDG 13). The white-bellied heron's critically endangered status makes this a severe violation of planetary boundaries and animal rights, with irreversible consequences for a species on the brink of extinction.
