Rosolie describes learning jungle skills from Indigenous mentor JJ, wrestling giant anacondas and living among jaguars, caiman, and uncontacted tribes. He details the accelerating destruction from logging, cattle, gold mining, and the Trans‑Amazon Highway, as well as the corruption and violence surrounding those industries. The conversation closes on Junglekeepers, his project to pay former loggers to become rangers and his urgent goal to protect 300,000 acres before heavy machinery wipes out a uniquely biodiverse region.
