But it isn't "localized ecosystem damage". Building dams absolutely fucking destroys the ecosystems upstream and downstream. It's the civil engineering of burning the crops when you retreat. The "new" ecosystem has nothing in common with the prior ecosystems.

Yeah. And dams can be removed (and as far as I can tell, nature is relatively adaptable and can recover).
