The visitors center of the Fundação Chico Mendes contains wall-size photos of Chico Mendes with his wife and children, tapping rubber trees, and leading empate s – work stoppages designed to stop clear-cutting in the rain forest. There are some personal effects, including the blood-stained clothes and bath towel he had when he was murdered, and numerous awards given to Mendes, both before and after he died.
