In this Sept. 21, 2009 photo, activist Sister Leonora Brunetto holds up a young tree near Alta Floresta, Brazil.  An episode in 2007 that saw gunmen circling her safe house was just one of many of her brushes with death as an advocate for those who camp for years on unused property, waiting for Brazil's agrarian reform program to deliver them land titles. (AP Photo/Andre Penner)AP - The gunmen arrived in the Amazon dusk, circling the house where Sister Leonora was hiding, rifles and pistols poking out the windows of three muddy pickup trucks.
