MONGOL RALLY 2020: 27.000km to save our Earth’s health.

From Treviso to Mongolia: a 4 wheels adventure with the aim to raise funds on Cool Earth's behalf, the international ONG that protects Rain Forests from deforestation, fights against global warming, defend their ecosystem and promote its populations, creating jobs and working among them.

All funds raised during this race will be granted and managed directly by the forest’s indigenous inhabitants, the only true protectors of this territories. The ultimate goal is to put an end to the circle of deforestation, developing strong and free communities.

WHY WITH A CLUNKER CAR, IF WE RACE TO SAVE THE PLANET?

• The only available fuel will be petrol: we won’t, therefore, be able to use modern electric vehicles; moreover, in most of the countries that we chose to drive through, there aren’t enough facilities that will allow us to race by bike nor by foot.
• We could describe the Mongol Rally a “slow mobility” race: the only other option would be travelling by plane, a way more expensive and pollutant solution.
• Last but not least, the “touch and go” tourism is not really for us, mainly because we want to live and breathe every single place and landscape that we will cross.

The team

Luca and Giacomo, two young men from Treviso (Italy), really “OUTSIDE MIND” (out of mind and outside the house). Out of Mind, or how we would say in Treviso “fora de testa”, is what our friends and relatives started calling us when we first introduced to them this adveturous idea.
We can, indeed, call ouselves, a pretty “crazy wild” duo. We will, in fact, be racing on board of an old Panda from western Europe to the far away Siberia, promoting CoolEarth and its target to defend the indigenous inhabitants of the world’s forests and protect their tradition, history and incredibly rich biodiversity.
