I don't want much, I just want the person reading this to be healthy, happy, and loved. Wishing you a good day my friend

My parrot likes watching this. Sometimes she will let out a scream, I wonder what these birds are saying to her.

I went to Tambopata last year for a few days and it was one of the best experiences of my life. It's sad to see human development encroaching on the wilderness, but it didn't seem as bad there (or I went to quite an isolated place...). Great documentary, wish there were more like this. I hope the entire region stays protected, that wilderness is absolutely priceless.

Breath taking viewing from start to finish. So much life in those forests! A magical world. The parrots are stunning. Only Mother Nature gifts her children with such vivid colours. Thank you for filming and sharing. It is a definite keeper to re-watch at leisure..:-)

Guys this is one of the best documentaries I have seen on the Amazon. I must compliment the camera and editing on the jaguar sighting scene. It was simply a masterpiece. I hope more and more people see these documentaries and realise the importance of saving these forests. I hope the government uses their resources to curb the few selfish and irresponsible people from gold mining and logging

The birds are so beautiful. I live with 3 Amazon parrots. They all come from homes that didn't understand what it takes as far as time with the birds or what it cost to give them a good home. My guys are spoiled rotten . They have a room of their own and never get locked in a cage. They come out into the house daily to be with us. They enjoy eating with us. I would never buy a baby bird but figured these guys can have a better life with me then they would in a rescue. So if you want a parrot do research and if your crazy like me go for it. They are very smart and bond with some lucky family member

This would be my absolute dream job or in Africa studying the animals there. I love wildlife and wish that humanity wasn't so greedy.

Truly beautiful land. Thank you for showing it to us
-
A very comprehensive footage of the Amazon forest! The footage is worth my time and indeed, captivating. Well done to all the crew for doing us a favour by going the extra mile. Good job.✅👍🇬🇭🙌

What an amazing, breathtaking exciting documentary. Especially the part where the jaguar came so close.
-
One of the best documentaries that I've ever watched, thanks 👍
-
Beautiful camera work, talented guides, and challenges around every corner! CUDOS to the makers.

That jaguar was so curious .. how freaky but beautiful
-
Oh this is breathtaking. Just amazing. And it takes not only smart intellectual folks for these missions but hearty people too. This ain't no cakewalk and I appreciate their efforts. Mymymy.
-
This is such an awesome episode, i love to watch it, close to nature❤️
-
Can you imagine how beautiful this planet was before man?
-
An exceptional amazonian documentary, the type of film I normally browse for eternity on Youtube without a luck. Especially glad to see a fellow hungarian taking a major part of the expedition, if you read it George, Molnár Gábor would be proud. And that jaguar encounter...
-
Best content for nature lovers 😍

Thx for sharing

Beautiful film. Thank you for all the hard work trying to save one of the Amazons most majestic birds. I just read there are 2000-3000 Red Macaws here in my home state of California. What a shame that there are fewer in the wild then caged in peoples homes. The very people that knowingly or unknowingly help support this awful trade. Often the birds end up in terrible situations by ending up in homes that’s didn’t understand the commitment and/or cost involved with raising a parrot. Its all very sad. But I very much appreciate your work.
