Deep in the rainforest with Malte Zierden, Broder, Robinga and Jacob
My new National Geographic book "AugenBlicke": https://linktr.ee/buchaugenblicke
Together with Malte Zierden, Broder, Robinga, and Jacob from Breaking Lab, I'm on an expedition for Wilderness International in Tambopata National Park, deep in the Peruvian Amazon. Completely isolated from civilization—only dense rainforest, endless rivers, and incredible biodiversity. Encounters with colorful macaws, curious monkeys, sweet capybaras, and poisonous spiders, like the Wandering Spider, which sat in my bed one night.
Tambopata is one of the most biodiverse places on earth and at the same time severely threatened by deforestation and gold mining. As an ambassador for Wilderness International, I'm actively involved with my own community forest. The principle is very simple: With just one euro, you can permanently protect one square meter of rainforest. More on my donation page: https://bit.ly/3W39Rs6.
Join me on this journey into one of the last true wildernesses and help ensure its preservation in the future.
