This picture was submitted by Anthony Hall, reader in the Social Policy Department.

How the photo relates to the theme of 'risk':

"Francisco 'Chico' Mendes led the rubber tappers' resistance movement against land grabbing by large cattle ranchers in the western Amazon until he was assassinated in 1988. He risked his life and paid the highest price."
