Abstract
I begin this text with the sentence that my father left when he began to feel that his life was being threatened: “At first I thought I was fighting to save rubber trees, then I was fighting to save the Amazon Rainforest. Now, I realize that I’m fighting to save humanity. Chico Mendes, 1987”. The socio-environmental movement and its leaders are under threat today. The rubber tree is under threat. The Amazon is under threat. Humanity is under threat.
