Sebastião Salgado. Amazon, Book

Threatened Paradise: Through the lens of acclaimed photographer Sebastião Salgado, the breathtaking beauty of the Amazon rainforest and its indigenous peoples is captured. Over the course of six years, Salgado ventured deep into this unique region, documenting its lush landscapes, diverse wildlife and the vibrant cultures of the indigenous communities.

In the preface, Salgado describes the Amazon as "the last frontier", a powerful realm of nature unlike any other on Earth, filled with a rich variety of plants and animals. Having visited a dozen tribes, including the Yanomami, Asháninka and Awá, he captured intimate moments of their daily lives - hunting, fishing, family gatherings and the importance of their rituals and traditions.

Salgado's dedication to the indigenous peoples of the Amazon is profound, as it expresses a sincere hope that future generations will continue to thrive in this extraordinary environment. His images serve as both a celebration of their culture and a poignant reminder of the fragility of this irreplaceable treasure. Through this Threatened Paradise, Salgado urges us to recognise the importance of preserving the Amazon and its inhabitants for future generations.
