Greatest Hits: Adventure and Conservation - A 6,000 km Tuk-Tuk Journey Through Africa

Have you ever encountered something while traveling that sparked a "crazy idea" or inspired you to make a change? For the past six months, Robbie, Ivo, Jasper, and Josh have created adventure videos in Kenya for their YouTube channel, and it quickly became apparent that the loss of tourism due to Covid-19 is hurting parks and conservancies throughout Africa. After interviewing rangers and uncovering the truth about reduced salaries and increased workload, the creators knew they had to act. Learn how four young YouTubers decided to journey from Kenya to Cape Town in nothing but two tuk-tuks, all in the name of conservation. What is one thing you can do to create change within your community? I'd love to hear about it, and I hope you will share by sending me an audio message. *We're sharing previous episodes to highlight Earth Month!
