Mac Stone's 'American Amazon' Documents Southeast US Wetlands
teNeues announces the release of 'American Amazon,' a photographic book by conservation photographer Mac Stone. The work documents the endangered wetlands of the southeastern United States, which Stone identifies as a biodiversity stronghold comparable to the Amazon rainforest. Based on two decades of fieldwork, the book aims to draw attention to this overlooked ecosystem. Stone recalls first hearing the term 'American Amazon' while in the Fakahatchee Strand of the Everglades. The book presents a stark warning about the region's ecological significance and its quiet disappearance.
