In 1988, a Brazilian environmental activist and rubber tapper was shot to death at his home in Acre State by ranchers opposed to his efforts to save the Amazon rain forest.Francisco Alves Mendes, pictured in 1988, was killed by ranchers opposed to his efforts to save the rain forest.

After his death at age 44, Francisco Alves Mendes, better known as Chico, became a martyr for a concept that is only now gaining mainstream support here: that the value of a standing forest could be more than the value of a forest burned and logged in the name of development.
Mr. Mendes organized tappers to confront crews and flew abroad to confront lenders paying for roads. His efforts to stop logging in an area planned for a forest reserve led to his death. Since his killing, on Dec. 22, 1988, more than 20 reserves have been created, protecting more than eight million acres.

In 2001, Brazil banned mahogany trade following allegations of illegal activity. Following this, mahogany was listed in 2003 as CITES II, an international trade regulation that restricts trade so that it does not harm the ecosystem where the species is harvested. Following the CITES listing and mahogany ban in Brazil, illegal trade shifted to other countries with weaker forest governance, like Peru. In 2007-2008, Peru signed a free trade agreement with the United States, and stipulations of the trade treaty supported increased enforcement of trade of mahogany and other CITES listed timber species. Nevertheless, illegal logging has continued in Peru and has been the subject of several investigative analyses.
