A wildly popular explorer and conservationist shares mind-blowing stories of the Amazon jungle and what it takes to protect it—from incredible animal encounters to the indigenous communities who have inherited centuries of wisdom about the jungle and its unfathomable diversity of life.

Junglekeeper is for any listener yearning to be led on an expedition into the wild of life in that strange world on which all life on Earth depends—and in that wild, into discovering the deepest truths of human existence, calling, purpose, connectedness, and hope. When we're tucked away in the safety and comfort of modern living, is there still an adventure available to us? The answer, Paul Rosolie shows, is a resounding "yes."

A kid from Brooklyn who obeyed an undeniable sense of calling to the outdoors, Rosolie found himself immersed in the drama of an entirely different world, the Amazon―and joining with indigenous people and organizations across the globe in an existential struggle to protect it from the encroaching threat of industrial society. Listeners will meet unimaginably large snakes that Rosolie must wrangle, jaguars pushed out of their territory by deforestation, monkeys whose home is a canopy humans have yet to understand, a near-miraculous Amazonian water system, and previously uncontacted indigenous people struggling to protect their homes from industrialism.

While taking listeners on this adventure of how he and some of the unlikeliest people on Earth have successfully protected over 80,000 acres of Amazon forest, Rosolie invites listeners to reflect on the profound power of saying "yes": yes to one's calling, yes to the sacrifices and dangers and love we can encounter if we just step outside. Rosolie shows that the vitality we long for is found when we discover who we are between dirt and sky, among the creatures out there who are far more mysterious and alive than we can imagine.
