Naturalist Paul Rosalie of Jungle Keepers operates within the hyper-biodiverse Las Piedras region of Peru to safeguard 66,000 acres of rainforest threatened by illegal logging and gold mining, a mission that includes protecting uncontacted tribes and securing indigenous land titles. While documenting the complex survival mechanics of apex predators like black caimans and anacondas, Rosalie advocates for a $30 million funding goal to create a biological corridor that transitions local economies from extraction to conservation. This strategy aims to preserve the world's most life-dense ecosystem while preventing the human trafficking and environmental destruction currently driving the region.

Paul Rosley founded Jungle Keepers to protect 50,000 acres of Amazonian habitat from the toxic mercury released by unregulated gold mining, having shifted his focus after surviving life-threatening infections and encountering uncontacted tribes.
