Sinopsis(1)
As an eight year-old, Richard received his first Children's Encyclopaedia of Animals, sparking a passion for wildlife. The creatures of the Amazon captured his imagination and inspired a lifelong interest in photography. Richard will trek through steamy impenetrable jungle, tackle the mighty River Amazon, sleep rough under the forest canopy and be hoisted hundreds of feet to the top of trees, in order to reach the remote places where his target species can be found. Along the way he encounters some of the extraordinary people who call the rainforest home - people who make up a floating river community and those who live in a traditional tribal village - and discovers how deforestation is pushing many wild animals to the brink of extinction. Among the other species Richard photographs are: white-fronted capuchins, wattled jacana, Brazilian wandering spiders, tapyba ants and scorpions. Also captured on film are macaw, caiman, saki monkeys, camel spiders and turkey vultures. (Sky UK)
