Joe Rogan Experience #2441 - Paul Rosolie

In this podcast recap, conservationist Paul Rosolie shares his harrowing experiences working to protect the Amazon rainforest from the encroachment of loggers, miners, and narco-traffickers. He describes the daily realities of uncontacted indigenous tribes and explains his organization's efforts to create a massive wildlife corridor. The discussion covers the unique biodiversity of the region, including the use of traditional plant medicines that saved Rosolie from a life-threatening stingray injury. He also addresses scientific debates regarding whether the Amazon was historically engineered by ancient civilizations or remains a primarily wild ecosystem. Throughout the dialogue, Rosolie emphasizes the urgent need for global environmental action to prevent the collapse of the world's most vital moisture cycle. He concludes by reflecting on the spiritual and physical connection to nature that drives his dangerous mission to preserve the "lungs of the earth."
