Amazon Jungle-High Definition River Canoe Journey

AIRING CBC Canada Feb 25, 2010, 10pm. These are amazing HD forest "outtake" clips- cruising through Lago Preto Preserve in the Peruvian Amazon in a canoe...which we captured while filming a documentary- "Uakari: Secrets of the English Monkey" for Animal Planet, BBC and CBC. These clips are intended to just give you a feel for what it's like to travel through a flooded Amazon rainforest- sights and sounds. The one hour documentary directed by Peter von Puttkamer/Gryphon Productions Ltd is about a rare species of monkey- the Red Uakari and the work of Dr. Mark Bowler with the Durrell Institute and WCS; he is learning more about this unusual primate and helping to preserve its habitat, here in Lago Preto preserve, near the Brazilian border.

The documentary has just aired to 2 million people in England on BBC2- Natural World. Please watch for the upcoming US Broadcast @ 7:00pm on Animal Planet, April 19, 2009.

Wow that was really epic. And I don't dish the word "epic" around often. This must have been very exciting, though I imagine the bugs must have been killer.

This was part of the ANIMAL PLANET Red Uakari shoot...and actually the bug's were mostly bad in the morning and in the evening at the boat, on the river. In the jungle- not too bad at all, in fact- I found the Arctic much much worse...

Why would anyone dislike this? I thought it was great! I'd love to visit the Amazon if I could! ^.^

Such a beautiful and mystical place. I have such a good idea for a movie, if only I could write a screenplay.

awesome post!! many, many thanks, friend......i dont usually comment on vids, but i gotta say: this is absolutely fantastic!! im a big nature buff and this is the perfect type of vid i like to see....simple, yet beautifully elegant since it allows nature itself to take center stage....no annoying new-age "relaxation" music or fake sounds added in; no commentary, and no other extraneous crap! thanks so much! o and just curious, why do you say below the arctic was worse? more bugs or just cold?
