Chico Mendes Extractive Reserve in Acre State, Brazil
Dois Irmãos community, in Chico Mendes Extractive Reserve, in the city of Xapuri, Acre state.
From December 15th to 17th, 2018, the city of Xapuri, in Acre state, Brazil, held a gathering: "Chico Mendes 30 Years - Memory to Honor, Legacy to Defend", bringing together leaderships from extractivism and social movements from all over the country, not to mention friends and relatives to the activist, murdered three decades ago.
After fighting peacefully for all his life, Chico Mendes left an extensive legacy, including a very successful literacy and learning program for rubber tappers, and the creation of Extractive Reserves (Resex), conservation units for collective use that allow people to benefit from the forests and their resources, like rubber tapping and nut collection, without destroying them.

Reserva Extrativista Chico Mendes, no Acre
Comunidade Dois Irmãos, na Reserva Extrativista Chico Mendes, em Xapuri, Acre.
Entre 15 e 17 de dezembro de 2018, a cidade de Xapuri (AC) recebeu o "Encontro Chico Mendes 30 anos: uma memória a honrar, um legado a defender”, um evento com a participação de lideranças extrativistas e movimentos sociais de diversas regiões do Brasil, além de amigos e parentes do seringueiro e sindicalista assassinado há três décadas.
Com uma vida de luta pacífica para proteger a floresta, Chico Mendes deixou um legado extenso, como um bem-sucedido programa de alfabetização para os seringueiros e a criação das Reservas Extrativistas (Resex), um tipo de unidade de conservação de uso coletivo que permite que as populações utilizem os recursos da floresta, como extração de borracha e castanha, sem destruí-la.
