MOTHER OF GOD

Madre de Dios - 'Mother of God' - is a place where the Andean Cloud Forest inter
mingles with the steaming tropical jungle at the head of the Amazon river. Here
can be found the greatest proliferation of living species that has ever existed
on Earth. And it is a place which is now under grave threat. Paul Rosolie has tr
avelled to the very heart of this wilderness in search of rare flora and fauna.
His adventures - with giant anacondas, huge cayman, the mighty jaguar and one ve
ry small anteater - are by turn thrilling, terrifying and revelatory.
