Amazonian Feat - Ed Stafford
Can you imagine yourself walking in the Amazon jungle for 2-1/2 years?! Well Ed Stafford did just that! On August 9 he became the first person known to walk the entire length of the 4000 mile river from it’s source in Peru to the Atlantic shores of Brazil. Stafford took 859 days to walk and hack his way through dense jungle, passing through illegal cocaine processing plants, staying with indigenous tribes, crisscrossing logging roads and navigating his way to the end via Google Earth. On the longest jungle expedition ever undertaken, Stafford walked through 3 countries; Peru, Colombia and Brazil repeatedly risking his life in his quest to raise awareness of deforestation. He'll talk to us about his experience and how he and his guide Gadiel ‘Cho’ Sanchez Rivera stayed on course - physically and mentally.
