Description

At the crack of dawn it gets hot and humid. Drops of dew, softly clattering and screeching. The sun sets the jungle in an orange glow. The bush shows its splendor and makes itself heard loudly.

Roaring frogs, buzzing mosquitoes. Snakes, toucans and spiders. Monkeys swinging through the highest branches of the woods. A variegated macaw echoes high above the canopy.

Danger is never far away. One animal can be the prey of another nearby. An intruder, an attack, the swift flight to safety. But the forest's greatest enemy is and remains the felling machine - Clang and rumble of all-destroying steel. The rainforest is groaning under so much violence.

Nothing or no one can beat the power of the jungle! Nothing and no one can compete with Mother Earth. Nothing beats this spectacle of life, sound and colour.

“Jungle sunrise” takes you on an adventure to the lungs of the world – one of the most fascinating places on earth.
