[1] His long-standing interest in rainforests led him to an Amazon research station in Peru's Madre de Dios at the age of 18[2] in 2005.
[1] In 2013, Rosolie published a short film on YouTube that showed footage of dozens of species of wild animals in the Madre de Dios forests captured on video by various camera traps.
[8] The show received criticism from both viewers and animal rights organizations,[9] but Rosolie maintained that he intended to raise money and bring broader public attention to the deforestation, gold mining, and hunting that threaten the anaconda's habitat.
The book is a literary fiction novel and is based on the true story of an Indian girl who contacted Rosolie after finding three abandoned tiger cubs.
[14] Paul Rosolie appeared on The Lex Fridman Podcast in 2024, which was filmed at his conservation area in the Amazon rainforest, where he discussed his experiences in wildlife protection and the importance of preserving biodiversity.
