The sixth episode of this series, "Voices of the Forest: The Chico Mendes Forest Peoples Alliance Today," features Pedro Xapuri.

"Freedom is life, I don't need a fence, I don't need an electric fence, I don't need a gate, I don't need anything. To me this is freedom. And it is an achievement that I have, but which cost many hikes, many journeys, do you see?"
