If the entire tragedy of the Amazon and the rubbers tappers could be linked to one event, it would be the great rubber seed heist of Henry Wickham during the late 1800's. This biological rip off reduced the value of rubber and set in motion events that would lead to the great confrontation between ranchers and rubber tappers many years later. Thousands would die in this struggle - including Chico Mendes.

Come with us on a deep forest hike to see the mother tree and learn the secrets of the biggest genetic rip-off in history.
