Since 2003, the tiny Naso indigenous community has fought to a standstill construction of the 33-megawatt Bonyic dam on the Teribe River, a tributary of the Changuinola. The project, undertaken by Hidro-Teribe, a subsidiary of Colombian public utilities company Empresas Publicas de Medell\u00edn, also was opposed by Panamanian and Costa Rican environmental organizations because of its proximity to La Amistad International Park. The 4,010-square-kilometer (1,550-square-mile) park spans the Costa Rica-Panama border, protects countless species of tropical plants and wildlife, and is the largest nature reserve in Central America.\u00a0 This week the battle was lost.<\/p>\n
