A rubber gatherer family at home, in Amazon rainforest forest, Acre state, north Brazil - man wounded in the eyes being care by his family. During the rubber cycle (1879-1912), the Amazon was responsible for almost 40% of Brazilian exports. Most of the few rubber extractors who still remain in the Brazilian Amazon live in a state of destitution or semi-slavery.
