Ep. 40 - It's a Jungle Out There with Paul Rosolie

Paul Rosolie is an Amazon conservationist, author and rain forest educator. His story found in his book "Mother of God" is a must read, but if you like to get to know the author first, then check this out. Paul and I talk about how he got his education in spite of the school system and now is the author of two books. He operates an eco-tourism company in the upper Amazon of Peru called Tamandua Expeditions. Want to experience the Amazonian rainforest firsthand? Now you know who to call! Paul swims with piranhas, hunts anacondas, has spent multiple nights alone in the jungle and is now on my podcast to talk about it. His message is clear...we know what to do to stop the destruction of Earth's ecosystems, so we just need to do it! In this episode we mention several resources and I'll list them here:Instagram accounts connected to Paul: @paulrosolie, @junglekeepers, @ageofunion, @tamanduaexpeditions, @darkgreen_filmInstagram accounts mentioned in the podcast: @johnemarriott, @therealcraigleeson, @tjwattVideos mentioned in the podcast: A Plastic Ocean (Netflix), In the Cross Hairs: The Road to Recovery for Alberta's Threatened Grizzly Bears by John E Marriott (YouTube)
