In April 2008, Ed Stafford began his attempt to become the first
man ever to walk the entire length of the River Amazon. Nearly two
and a half years later, he had crossed the whole of South America
to reach the mouth of the colossal river. With danger a constant
companion - outwitting alligators, jaguars, pit vipers and electric
eels, not to mention overcoming the hurdles of injuries and
relentless tropical storms - Ed's journey demanded extreme physical
and mental strength. Often warned by natives that he would die, Ed
even found himself pursued by machete-wielding tribesmen and
detained for murder. However, Ed's journey was an adventure with a
purpose: to help raise people's awareness of environmental issues.
Ed had unprecedented access to indigenous communities and witnessed
the devastating effects of the deforestation of the Amazon
rainforest first-hand. His story of disappearing tribes and loss of
habitats concerns us all. Ultimately though, Walking the Amazon is
an account of a world-first expedition that takes readers on the
most daring journey along the world's greatest river and through
the most bio-diverse habitat on earth.
