Jeremy Narby

Jeremy Narby is a Canadian Anthropologist and author, who has worked for the last 31 years raising funds and advocating for indigenous Amazonian initiatives such as land titling, bilingual and intercultural education programmes and sustainable forestry and fish farming, on the understanding that tropical rainforest is best protected by its indigenous inhabitants. He has also written several books, including “The cosmic serpent: DNA and the origins of knowledge”, “Intelligence in nature”, and “Plant teachers: ayahuasca, tobacco, and the pursuit of knowledge” (co-authored with Rafael Chanchari Pizuri).

His books and research examine shamanism and their knowledge of Botanics and Biology through the use of entheogens across indigenous cultures.
