Three spirited conservationists and friends under the group name El Banditos– Waris Ahluwalia, Joshua Jackson, and documentarian and Chairman of Elephant Family USA Adam Haggiag–will take on an audacious 300-mile race on Gujarati motorbikes across Rajasthan to raise vital awareness and funds to protect the Asian elephant from extinction. Beginning in Jodphur, India on October 30th, the team will ride with roughly thirty-four other teams of charitable adventure-seekers over five days to Jaipur–through sweltering deserts, salt flats, and beaches.
Poaching and wildlife crime still exists as a considerable dilemma, especially in Asia, as competition for the same living space and food has reached an intimidating apex, forming a sweeping crisis to Asian elephants and to the communities that live alongside them.
