Sebastio Salgado traveled the Brazilian Amazon and photographed the unparalleled beauty of this extraordinary region for six years: the forest, the rivers, the mountains, the people who live therean irreplaceable treasure of humanity.
In the books foreword Salgado writes: For me, it is the last frontier, a mysterious universe of its own, where the immense power of nature can be felt as nowhere else on earth. Here is a forest stretching to infinity that contains one-tenth of all living plant and animal species, the worlds largest single natural laboratory.
Salgado visited a dozen indigenous tribes that exist in small communities scattered across the largest tropical rainforest in the world. He documented the daily life of the Yanomami, the Ashninka, the Yawanaw, the Suruwah, the Zo, the Kuikuro, the Waur, the Kamayur, the Korubo, the Marubo, the Aw, and the Macuxitheir warm family bonds, their hunting and fishing, the manner in which they prepare and share meals, their marvelous talent for painting their faces and bodies, the significance of their shamans, and their dances and rituals.
Sebastio Salgado has dedicated this book to the indigenous peoples of Brazils Amazon region: My wish, with all my heart, with all my energy, with all the passion I possess, is that in 50 years time this book will not resemble a record of a lost world. Amaznia must live on.
