Perpetuating Márcio’s commitment
Brazilian environmentalist José Márcio Ayres, who died in March 2003, devoted his life to the challenge of combining protection of the Amazon forest with improving the living conditions of its native people.
"Thousands of people are benefiting today from the dream of one man who gave himself the means of making it come true.”
Now the team of people who succeeded the 2002 Rolex Awards Laureate is keeping alive his passionate commitment to the Amazon by expanding his work.
