    Meat, Orphanages, and Rhino Hunting || Helix Program #6

    Robbie is joined by South African outfitter and Helix Program member Ruan of Inkulu Adventures to discuss his 21 years in the hunting industry and the meaning behind building his own safari operation from the conservation standpoint, to the community impact, and beyond. Ruan breaks down the significant costs involved in managing rhinos (security, insurance, fencing, feed, and anti-poaching measures) and explains why regulated rhino hunting provides critical revenue that incentivizes private landowners to maintain and protect rhino populations.  Do you have questions we can answer?

    Ebola dodging, Being a Savant in France, and who knew Corner Crossing would be the hornets nest it is!

    Ashlee and Robbie had a LOT to catch up on after Robbie's trip to four different countries in the last 5 weeks, including the premier of 'A Fine Balance' in Kenya, where wildlife hasn't been hunted since the 1970s; the premiere of 'Sauvon Bambi' in Paris, Robbie narrowly dodging Ebola and other assorted foreign diseases, harrowing flights, and amazing rhino conservation work. Ashlee caught Robbie up on the House Interior Appropriations for USFWS, BLM and other agencies, the latest controversy over corner crossing (not again!), and the Public Lands Integrity Act.
