The following is a conversation with Paul Rosalie, his third time on the podcast.

Paul is a naturalist, explorer, writer, and is someone who has dedicated his life to protecting the Amazon rainforest and celebrating the beauty of the natural world.

He has a new book coming out in a few days titled Jungle Keeper.

They should definitely go pre-order now.

It tells some intense stories about his time in the jungle over the past several years, building up to a few epic recent events, including a new full-on extended encounter with an uncontacted tribe that we discuss in this podcast.

Both the book and audiobook are great.

I highly recommend it.

If you would like to support Paul and his incredible team in their mission to protect the jungle, go to junglekeepers.org.

You can help with donations or by spreading the word or checking out the gala that Paul is hosting in New York on January 22nd in a few days.

They are doing all they can to help raise funds for the mission of safeguarding as much of the rainforest as possible.

And I think it's a mission worth fighting for.

The Amazon jungle is one of the most special and beautiful places on earth.

As an aside, allow me to look back briefly and mention something that I've been struggling with a bit.

For context, I traveled to the Amazon rainforest with Paul a while back.

It was an adventure of a lifetime with lots of crazy twists and turns.

We did record a podcast out there, literally in the jungle.

Episode 429, if you want to go check it out.

It was awesome.

And we also recorded a bunch of disparate footage of the journey, just for fun.

And I would still love to somehow put all that together into a cohesive video, in case it's interesting to someone.
