• Eduardo and his family live in a small town in Ecuador, not far from the Amazon rainforest.
• The rainforest is an important part of their lives.
• Each month Eduardo and his father travel by river from their town to the rainforest.
• There, using just a basket and a machete, they gather Brazil nuts.
• They are casta�eros and this is how they earn their living.
• But the rainforest is not only important to the casta�eros; it is home to many exotic species of plants, birds, and mammals, including two playful tamarins that Eduardo has named Tuki and Moka.
• So although it is difficult work being a casta�ero, Eduardo looks forward to his visits to the rainforest so he can play with his two friends.
• But one night, the peace of the forest is threatened by poachers, animal traffickers who illegally capture and then try to sell some of the birds and animals.
• Can Eduardo save his friends?
