The Amazon, the world’s last great forest, is a landmass greater than the United States west of the Mississippi and has the richest diversity of plant and animal species on earth. Evidence has been found of centuries-old Amazonian civilizations. Twenty-one million people now live in the forest. What will become of the Amazon, as developers and environmentalists clash over the region’s future?

Mark London and Brian Kelly are longtime explorers of the Amazon Basin and have traveled more than 100,000 miles in the area over the last twenty years. They will discuss the state of the world’s last and greatest rainforest, including solutions to global environmental issues and national growth issues.

Mark London is a Washington, D.C. attorney, and Brian Kelly is the executive editor of U.S. News & World Report. Their new book, THE LAST FOREST, was recently published by Random House and will be available for purchase and signing at the program.
