Small fish, large conservation questions

Through Project Piaba, Sy Montgomery and photographer Keith Ellenbogen explore how the fish may support conservation while sustaining the region’s animals and people.

Its compact, illustrated format brings together wildlife, rainforest ecology, and the relationship between local livelihoods and environmental protection.

Book overview

Considered the "lungs of the world," the Amazon provides a full fifth of the world's oxygen, and every year unsustainable human practices destroy 2.7 million acres. What can be done to help? That's where Project Piaba comes in.
Join the award-winning author Sy Montgomery and the photographer Keith Ellenbogen as they traverse the river and rainforest to discover how tiny fish, called piabas, can help preserve the Amazon, its animals, and the rich legacy of its people. Amazon Adventure is an eye-opening--and ultimately hopeful--exploration of how humanity's practices are affecting and shaping not only the Amazon, but our entire environment.
