Renato Cordeiro, 57, shows the different scars on a rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) that resulted from the dissimilar methods used to extract rubber over four generations, near his home on the Anajas riverbank, municipality of Anajas, contained in the Marajo Archipelago Environmental Protection Area, Para state, Brazil on December 7, 2024. The recent revival of the rubber tapper trade in this impoverished northern Brazilian region has reignited a sustainable economy and provided jobs for families who once thrived during the Amazonian rubber boom, which collapsed in the late 20th century.
