“I’m in this weird reality where I’m using my voice and my status as a woman traveling alone on a motorcycle as a way to talk about conservation to people who otherwise might not care or listen,” says Janelle Kaz.

For the past five years, Janelle has traveled on her motorcycle fighting against the worldwide problem of wildlife trafficking. This journey has brought her from the jungles of Southeast Asia to the mountains of Colombia. Although this massive problem can be overwhelming at times, Janelle has found ways to stay positive and in the process built an unlikely bridge between the conservation and motorcycle culture. Travel along, as she follows jungle roads into the incredible indigenous culture of the Kogi.
