À propos de cet audio
“On behalf of the forests that I love, thank you, Paul, for writing this book.”—Jane Goodall
Deep in the Peruvian jungle, there exists a corner of the world that remains untouched—one teeming with giant anacondas, where the haunting cries of howler monkeys send brightly colored macaws shooting across the canopy. It’s an ecosystem of stupendous biodiversity, uncontacted tribes, and adventures that most people don’t even dare to dream of.
When he first set foot in the jungle, Rosolie was a dyslexic kid from Brooklyn who struggled to graduate from high school but had an undeniable calling to the outdoors. He was lucky enough to meet the indigenous naturalist Juan Julio Durand, and together, over two decades, they have created Junglekeepers, an organization that has found a way to halt deforestation and protect more than 110,000 acres—inspiring millions along the way by documenting their progress online. But this work takes grit, and years in, Rosolie and Durand are past their “barefoot machete days,” grappling with chain saws, massive fires, illegal miners, and the worst of humanity. Here, Rosolie brings you up close and personal with one of the wildest places on the planet and tells the incredible story of “first contact” with one of the most mysterious uncontacted tribes on Earth: the Mashco Piro.
This book is about the profound power of saying yes: yes to one’s calling, yes to sticking with your dream when it comes at a high cost, and yes to taking a stand to save what might otherwise be gone in a generation. It’s a story of calling, connectedness, and hope.
Ce que les critiques en disent
Praise for Junglekeeper
“[Paul] Rosolie profoundly understands the necessity of seeing a place if one is to be
moved to protect it, and he enlists his language powerfully in this mission with rich,
poetic passages capturing the light of treetops at dawn, the darkness of untouched jungle
at night, and the magnificence of confronting rarely seen species up close. . . . A call
to confront today’s acute environmental threats with a combination of persistence,
adventure, and awe.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Refreshingly optimistic about the future, rejecting ‘antihuman’n narratives . . . Honest yet hopeful, this will provide plenty of inspiration for budding conservationists.”—Publishers Weekly
Praise for Paul Rosolie
“Rosolie writes with intrepid curiosity and a passion for ecological preservation.”—Booklist
“Rosolie is a gripping storyteller. . . . [His] enthusiasm for the wilderness and his ability
to convey it poetically makes him an exceedingly persuasive advocate for conserving
what’s left of the natural world.”—BookPage
“His dedication to preserving one of the earth’s last wildernesses is where he really sets
himself apart.”—Bear Grylls

This is beautifully written and devastating in its descriptions of the overwhelming grandeur that is the Amazon rainforest…and destruction of it. The book covers the meandering journey and toil of the people working the protect the Amazon. You can tell it’s been written by someone who is absolutely spellbound by the immense jungle, Rosolie’s word choices are like a caress for the mighty forest and river basin.
I found it interesting how the book is part memoir, part journalism, part scientific article, part call to action / manifesto for saving the rainforest. It felt like watching the best, most captivating show the Discovery channel could throw at you. It is both hope-giving and utterly crushing at the scope humanity can inhabit when it comes to greed, desperation and altruism.
Save the rainforest 🤎
Gorgeous, monstrous words for a gorgeous, monstrous place
