A personal account of adventures in the Amazon by Dr. Marc van Roosmalen, one of the great explorers and naturalists of the modern age. From the rain forests of Suriname to the heart of Brazil, this book covers incredible ground and offers amazing insight into the human and natural history of the Amazon. Author's exploits are epic, from searching for unknown species in remote jungles to fighting for his freedom in the courts of Brazil. This book takes you along for the ride, and makes a strong case for conserving one of the greatest tropical rain forests on Earth. Unfortunately, for Mother Nature, time runs out. Nowadays, a number of nameless creatures are found at the verge of extinction. They all need their living space -the ancient Amazon rain forest- not only onto paper but rigidly in situ protected by law. Author himself considers "Barefoot through the Amazon" a textbook on Amazon Rainforest Ecology and Biodiversity. With this account he hopes to attract public awareness and to draw attention to some of the most special and poorest known hotspots of biodiversity, which face the death penalty from the industrialized and genetically engineered soybean connection.
