Here are a few quotes by Chico Mendes:
1. ”At first I thought I was fighting to save rubber trees, then I thought I was fighting to save the Amazon rainforest. Now I realize I am fighting for humanity.”
2. ”I’m not a leader. I’m just a rubber tapper who’s fighting for his piece of land. But I believe that everyone should fight for what’s right.”
3. ”The battle we have to fight is not just in the forest, it’s in the minds of people.”
4. ”We must all make an effort to understand that the Amazon is not just Brazil’s, but the world’s heritage. We must all work together to protect and preserve it.”
5. ”The death of the forest is the end of our life.”
These quotes reflect Chico Mendes’ passion for the environment, his commitment to fighting for the rights of local communities, and his belief in the importance of collective action to protect the Amazon rainforest.
