Who is Paul Rosolie?

Paul Rosolie is an American conservationist and author, and with him the order of those two words matters: the conservation came first. He is the founder of Junglekeepers, a nonprofit working to protect rainforest in Peru’s Madre de Dios region, and it is that work on the ground in the Amazon that made his name.

The writing has grown directly out of the work. His 2014 memoir Mother of God recounted his early years in the rainforest of southeastern Peru, and his most recent book, Junglekeeper, published in 2026, picks up the thread, following his journey building the organisation itself. He is that comparatively rare thing in nature writing: an author whose subject is lived rather than researched.

Paul Rosolie in audiobooks

Junglekeeper is the Rosolie audiobook in our catalogue, and it is first-person conservation storytelling: the account of how Junglekeepers came to be, told by the man who built it. That makes it a different proposition from armchair nature writing – the stakes here belong to the author, not to his sources.

For a UK listener the Peruvian Amazon is about as far from the daily round as it is possible to get, which is precisely the appeal. This is immersive listening in the most literal sense: a working life spent defending one of the wildest places left, delivered straight into your headphones.
