Chaired by Sean Malatesta

SPEAKER:

Steve Elkins has worked in television for 30 years as an Emmy winning cinematographer, editor, and producer. In 1994 he became fascinated with the Honduran Mosquita and its lost city legends. After a number of frustrating ground expeditions, he learned of the possibilities that airborne LiDAR might provide. The technology worked perfectly and in 2012, Steve, with his partner, Bill Benenson discovered two lost cities from an unknown culture followed by a multi-disciplinary scientific ground expedition in 2015. The project garnered worldwide headlines including articles in New Yorker Magazine, National Geographic, CNN, CBS Sunday Morning and a New York Times bestselling book “The Lost City of the Monkey God.” The book is currently printed in more than 16 languages. He was also named one of Foreign Policy Magazine’s 100 Leading Global Thinkers in 2013 and is a member of the Los Angeles Adventurers Club and a Fellow in the Explorers Club.
Steve’s quest has now morphed into the newly formed Kaha Kamasa Foundation that is now facilitating continuing archaeological research and rainforest conservation in Honduras.
