Scott Wallace will present a multi-media lecture, "Speaking for Those Who Cannot Speak for Themselves: How to Protect the Amazon's Last Uncontacted Tribes," on Wednesday, February 15, at The Loomis Chaffee School in Windsor. The event will take place at 7 p.m. in the Hubbard Performance Hall.

Mr. Wallace, author of The Unconquered: In Search of the Amazon's Last Uncontacted Tribes, is a writer, photographer, and broadcast journalist who has covered the environment, indigenous peoples, and armed conflict in some of the world's remotest places over the past three decades. His assignments have taken him from Afghanistan's windswept Wakhan Corridor to the Alaskan Arctic, from the clandestine arms bazaars of the former Soviet Union to midnight raids on suspected fedayeen hideouts in the slums of Baghdad.

A frequent contributor to National Geographic and a former correspondent for Newsweek and the Guardian, Mr. Wallace brings the full range of his writing and reportorial talents tobear in The Unconquered, an epic story of a journey into the deepest recesses of the Amazon to track an uncontacted indigenous tribe known only as the "People of the Arrow." Part memoir, part travel tale, and part philosophical meditation, Mr. Wallace reveals this critical battleground in the fight to save the planet as it has rarely been seen, all wrapped in a page-turning tale of adventure.

He is a graduate of Loomis Chaffee, Yale University, and the University of Missouri School of Journalism. The event is free and open to the public. Books will be available for sale and signing after the lecture.
