# Henry Alexander Wickham

> Sir Henry Alexander Wickham was a British explorer. He was the first person to smuggle a large, viable shipment of Brazilian rubber seeds to the British Empire. The British had long planned to create rubber plantations in Southeast Asia, and the plantations resulting from the seeds Wickham smuggled out of Brazil expanded the rubber industry and broke Brazil’s monopoly, bringing about the end of the Amazon rubber boom.
