Sebastião Salgado - Amazônia: Tree of Life

Brilliantly conceived and masterfully crafted over the course of five months, Tree of Life immerses viewers in the Brazilian rainforest. With its dense foliage and compound broad leaves, the hero of Salgado’s lush forest is the Aldina latifolia. Photographed in 2009 at Jaú River, Jaú National Park, Amazonas State, Brazil, the Aldina tree is native to the wet tropical biome of Brazil’s Amazonia.
