Paul Rosolie

Paul Rosolie is a naturalist, explorer, author, and award winning wildlife filmmaker. He is specialized in threatened ecosystems and species in countries like Indonesia, Brazil, India, and Peru. In the Amazon, Rosolie has spent extensive time traveling with poachers documenting the illegal trade in endangered species. Rosolie's memoir on Amazonian wildlife and exploration, "Mother of God", was hailed as "gripping" by Jane Goodall, and the Wall Street Journal applauded Rosolie's environmental call-to-arms for its 'rare immediacy and depth'. In 2013 Rosolie spoke at the United Nations global Forum on Forests while accepting an award for his Amazonian wildlife short-film 'An Unseen World". He is the co-founder of Junglekeepers Peru an organization that focuses on protecting threatened habitat in western Amazonia. To date, Junglekeepers protects over 55,000 acres of primary forest.
