This conversation is with Paul Rosolie, explorer and naturalist, author of ‘Mother of God: one man’s journey to the uncharted depths of the Amazon rainforest’. We talk about Paul’s childhood love of wildlife and his struggles with the education system, his workout regime for staying in shape for the jungle, his state of mind when he ventures on solo expeditions and very close-up encounters with big cats and giant anacondas, as well as his views on the future of conservation.
