Amazonia

H Carre Hermes Paris > Spring - Summer 2001

An immense forest where flows a river almost as long as the Nile! Here we find he lungs of the world, but also the victim of aggressive progress. In the depths of its luxuriance man encounters the Morono butterfly, the "flower seducing" humming-bird, the toucan proud of his beak and the great hyacinth-coloured macaw. Sumptuously decked out with feathers the Wayana Indian, musing on nearby Eldorado, of fabulous memory, is observing the emblematic figure of the jaguar.
