Paul Rosolie Met An Uncontacted Tribe & Is Trying To Protect Them: On Preserving The Amazon To Save All Life On Earth
6/1/20261 hr 21 min
Paul Rosolie is a conservationist, adventurer, and the author of “Junglekeeper.” This conversation explores Paul's ardent case for ground-level conservation, the dire state of the Amazon, the indigenous wisdom that shaped him, his ill-fated brush with the Discovery Channel, encounters with uncontacted tribes, the crisis of meaning, and more. Along the way, Paul dismantles the notion that one person can't make a difference. I have mad respect for Paul. He's making it cool to be earnest. Enjoy!

[tense music] You looked across the beach, and it was like you were looking through a time machine. These hunched over, almost paleolithic-looking figures with their bows and arrows, and they kind of are the original jungle keepers. You just go, "Are we about to get surrounded and killed?"
