AMERICA'S AMAZON - FULL DOCUMENTARY

[@erinbell7224]

This is a great film! I learned SO MUCH!!! I am saddened to learn how many species Alabama has already lost, but we MUST act now!!! Thank you for posting this 👍👍

[@rohnross2637]

Would be nice to see the state government (ADEM) do more to protect and enforce the laws that would help save this diverse ecosystem.

[@terrylee7812]

Alabama is still such a beautiful state. I was born here and returned after living in states that were more desired internationally. My father lived around the world but willed that he be buried here. And he was.

[@Alexander-rq9he]

I just learned that the Nature Conservancy just protected a small portion of it! It’s what brought me here. Great news!!!

[@bryantg7641]

Been all up and down many many of those waterways !! Absolutely love living very close by !!!

[@garbread]

It’s basically just a beautiful subtropical jungle. I mean it’s at about North African/middle Eastern latitude and is one of the wettest places in the country.

[@channelfortheeveryman3139]

Heard you on the radio today. I’m enthralled.

[@kingmackattack42]

Human kind needs places like this. It's where we ultimately came from. It's where much of our food and oxygen comes from. We depend on it's survival and well-being, and it depends on us to preserve it as well. When it comes to the balance between industry and ecology, the scales should tip in favor of our natural environment. I understand that we need jobs and places to live, but at the same time we should be, as the Bible says, "good stewards" of the Earth.

Connecting to Nature is natural. We are all from One place.

fyi, the sturgeon's dna was found in the river the year after this was made

the low quality of this video made it about 30% more credible. I don't trust videos above 480p

[@dustyallen4197]

I was raised on the delta and I have property in the heart of the delta. The major problem is the damns and the chemical plants on its banks! The people who live locally protect it and love its vast nature! The worst thing you could do is give it to the federal government! National park means government control. The government is what allowed it to loose the animal and plant life its lost so far.

[@kfgflynn]

Not true. Look at what’s happened to it so far without protection. Then compare that to the quality of conservation in federal parks and monuments. No comparison. Time to move beyond cliches that have no basis in fact.

[@dustyallen4197]

@@kfgflynn you need to say that to yourself guy and probably don’t live anywhere locally so fuck off you liberal troll.

[@charlescollins9413]

@@dustyallen4197 the ones saying it needs to be a National park have no clue and probably don’t live here. If the government ever takes it from us, it’ll be downhill from there. Us men of the swamp with the help of local organizations are what’s helping the restoration of the swamp. You are absolutely right.

[@aidensanders2534]

@@charlescollins9413 What about turning a portion of it into a state park?

[@leroyburkett9904]

This was home to me, I know these people, some of the nicest people in the world. I fished and played in swamps, bays rivers and creeks. When I left the area a out 20 years ago as the were beginning to log the swamp with helicopters. I have known this delt from the depths of the rivers to the sky above. W.Burkett

Beautiful

[@jaeljade3609]

I read a few days ago that some wealthy person bought up thousands of acres of this land to forever be used as a preserve. I'm glad there's a few good ppl left in the world. It's very sad that this beautiful land has been so trashed and not cared for. I'm only 45 minutes from Mobile bay.

Out west got saved cause ease of access to it's beauty. A hike or horse was enough. Here we gotta get people in yaks or canoe's. If they could see it they'd want to save it.

[@JosephDowling-i9b]

How exactly do you get around on a yak in that link of terrain?

[@williammoran4898]

@@JosephDowling-i9b what do you mean? Relatively easy with 20,000 miles of creeks and rivers beginning and ending in the states borders . It's called the American amazon for a reason. And has the most diversity of aquatic life of any state. The issue is entrance and exit points as well as parking and pick up drop off services . Btw the state has the longest kayak race on earth the Alabama 650 , 650 miles takes a week plus to do. Starts in the north east Appalachians and ends at mobile bay.

[@josephcarter9516]

I fish the delta 3 times a month year round it really is a beautiful place..and yes it is full of alligators but that doesn’t stop people from swimming in the river especially down around Gavine island

Hello. Do you know why this area is called the American Amazon?

[@kyndalyoung]

This hurts

[@SrPv-qb4di]

É tão bonito ver como a Amazônia é linda , mas infelizmente cada governo que passa parece que nãó liguem para a Amazônia. Eu como um brasileiro posso confirmar.. muitas áreas são queimadas e desmatadas por pessoas ilegais , pode-se saber disso pelos filmes Rio e Rio 2

[@grayhawk5555]

Is this available on DVD anywhere?

[@stephaniemccord8677]

I think it helps that we are not super developed.

[@JosephDowling-i9b]

I myself remember the sea grass beds on the western shore of Mobile Bay, specifically south of the Fowl River on Dauphine Island Parkway. My parents bought a summer home on Mon Louis Island that came with about 10 acres of land. In those days the water was so clear in southern Mobile Bay that you could see your toe nails in neck deep water. There were huge schools of mullet, which of cooked real fresh and or smoked can't be beat. The were also plenty of flounders, and big blue crabs? Forget about it. As kids we imposed our own conservation tactics and limited ourselves to 60 big blues a day. We limited ourselves to 10 flounder, and never took the little ones. We would net 6 mullet, clean them and put the heads and entrails into the crab traps. We then either broiled, baked or fried them up with plenty of home grown veg's. In the after noons we would take a small seine net, myself and my next brother would pull the net and the youngest brother would carry a two gallon bucket. We would fill that bucket in about 40 minutes with big beautiful white shrimp. We could do this just about any day,and at will. By the early 70's the grass beds were gone along with the sea life and instead of sand the bottom was greyish mud with no visibility.

I could do without that loud ass piano blaring. If music is necessary how about something subtle and not distracting.
