		Chico Mendes was born Francisco Alves Mendes on December 15, 1944, in the Brazilian village of Porto Rico.
		Mendes influenced the rubber workers to position themselves as defenders of the rainforest: to forego the issue of declining rubber production--to politicize instead for the preservation of the rainforest environment; and to stress to the world the value of other forest products including oils, nuts, and cocoa.
