JungleKeepers review: Scam charity 1

JungleKeepers was founded by the same people that run Tamandua Expeditions and that created the scam mockumentary 'Eaten Alive' for the Discovery Channel. The special was intended to draw attention to wildlife conservation and the destruction of the Amazon, the special was condemned prior to its premiere by critics and the animal rights group PETA as an inhumane publicity stunt oriented towards shock value, resulting in calls for Discovery Channel to pull the special. After its premiere, Eaten Alive was widely criticized for false advertising. It did feature Paul Rosolie (JungleKeepers & Tamandua Expedition director) attempting to feed himself to an anaconda, and the snake did attack, but did not swallow him as the title of the special implied. The stunt itself was called off due to safety concerns.

Since the shockumentary didn't work a new attempt is being made with Unchartered Amazon a film that will glorify the beauty of the Amazon. What he couldn't do with shock, he is doing with pity and beauty. The money raised for JungleKeepers will be used to purchase land for this 'non-profit'.

The land is conveniently right beside Tamandua Expeditions which profits from guided excursions and the recent inclusion of paid yoga excursions through Modo Yoga New York and Moksha Yoga Montréal.

Adding other respected individuals to the board of Junglekeepers and implicating the yoga community is another way of ultimately achieving the goal that 'Eaten Alive' couldn't.

Please consider all the facts before supporting them and not just the tag lines of "saving the jungle". This feels more like buying the summer cottages for a bunch of directors of a non-profit and disguising it under "saving the jungle" since they will be the only ones that can have access to the land. It will be like having their own personal Galapagos Islands. The ego of this man is finding every means possible and necessary in order to expand his own personal Tarzan playground, implicating good people and a good cause in order to achieve his goal.

This 'non-profit' does not involve any biology, science or University nor any other association with any globally recognized organization or entity or any kind.
