Endangered Paradise

Sebastiγo Salgado on the traces of the indigenous peoples of the Amazon rainforest

Sebastiγo Salgado traveled the Brazilian Amazon and photographed the unparalleled beauty of this extraordinary region for six years: the forest, the rivers, the mountains, the people who live there—an irreplaceable treasure of humanity.

Salgado visited a dozen indigenous tribes that exist in small communities scattered across the largest tropical rainforest in the world. He documented the daily life of the Yanomami, the Ashαninka, the Yawanawα, the Suruwahα, the Zo’ι, the Kuikuro, the Waurα, the Kamayurα, the Korubo, the Marubo, the Awα, and the Macuxi—their warm family bonds, their hunting and fishing, the manner in which they prepare and share meals, their marvelous talent for painting their faces and bodies, the significance of their shamans, and their dances and rituals.

Sebastiγo Salgado has dedicated this book to the indigenous peoples of Brazil’s Amazon region: “My wish, with all my heart, with all my energy, with all the passion I possess, is that in 50 years’ time this book will not resemble a record of a lost world. Amazτnia must live on.”

INSTITUTO TERRA

Founded in 1998 at Aimorιs in the state of Minas Gerais, Instituto Terra is the culmination of Lιlia Wanick Salgado and Sebastiγo Salgado’s lifelong activism and work as cultural documentarians. Through a scientific program of planting and raising saplings, the organization has performed a miraculous reforestation of the once infertile region and furthered the Salgados’ mission of reversing the damage done to our planet. TASCHEN is proud to reach carbon zero status through our continued partnership.
