Like the rest of his family, the boy got the money by taking a little rubber from the trees in the forest. The forest and its people lived together comfortably and peacefully.

But some people think too much about the p2. and never think about the future. In 1980, the forest was burned to build roads, houses and factories. Chico was angry; he wanted to save the forest! He talked to the government workers, but they didn’t listen to him. They were still clearing the rainforests to make quick, easy money. “ Many voices are s3. than one,” he thought, so Chico held group meetings. He discovered that hundreds of people agreed with him. His hope grew. More people came together to try to stop the work of the forest clearers. Large areas of the forest were saved. Later he traveled to many other countries for i4. help. People soon became very much interested in this brave Brazilian. In the next few years Chico’ s name became famous all over the world.

Chico’s life was cut short, but his brave new ideas continued in other people. One man c7. the world’s ideas. After his death, people around the world sent money to help Chico’s work.
