    Are We Managing Elephants Wrong? || The Deep Dive #1

    In today’s media there are a lot of scientific reports, peer-reviewed science articles, and government gazettes that are long, cumbersome, and frankly difficult to understand. Let’s be honest too, nobody today has time to read those long articles and reports either. So we have decided to help you understand them. We have a new podcast series called The Deep Dive - where we’re taking a really dense scientific document and boiling it down for you so that you can understand it and share it at the bar, around the dinner table, on the golf course or wherever you are. We’re starting with a paper on legal reform of elephant management principles by Dr. Sam Ferreira. Please see below for the full link for the paper. Making a case for legal reform: https://wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wsb.70034  Do you have questions we can answer?

    Episode 667 - The Toll of Owning Rhinos 

    After a 3 week long documentary expedition visiting multiple owners and understanding their plights as it relates to rhino conservation, Robbie sits down with all three of the largest private rhino owners, outside the South African government itself, the first time the three have ever been in the same room. The conversation that ensues covers rhinos, which these three love more than anything, rhino conservation, and what it truly takes from budgets to land to medical, security and beyond to be stewards of these animals. It’s the epitome of rhino conservation.  Do you have questions we can answer? Send it via DM on IG or through email at info@theoriginsfoundation.org  Support our Conservation Club Members!

    Episode 666 - Mike McLane || Inside Oregon’s IP28

    After hearing Oregon State Senator Mike McLane discussing the controversial IP28 ballot measure on his podcast, The Oregon Discussion, Robbie invited him on to discuss these critical thought processes around IP28, the ramifications of this if it becomes law (not only for conservation but the economy as well), and where we go from here. IP28 has failed and did not pass the Secretary of State Ballot Process, but this is an important podcast as IP28 is not about this ballot initiative but rather the long game of the anti-use community looking to abolish hunting, fishing, and all use of animal products.

    Episode 665 - Jacques Hartzenberg || Black Rhino Ownership

    We’ve had a lot of conversations with owners of rhinos in South Africa, and believe it or not, private owners are one of the most important cogs in the wheel of rhino conservation. Today, Robbie catches up on location with Jacques Hartzenberg, owner of Kalahari Oryx, an 86,000 hectare area in the northern part of South Africa - the equivalent of about 186,000 acres. As they are driving across this massive property in Jacques own Land Cruiser, they discuss what it takes to conserve these animals, what it’s like to be the third largest black rhino owner in the country, and just living and breathing rhino conservation as a helicopter circles overhead to dart a specific rhino for blood tests.

    Episode 663 - Sean Outram || The Good Ol’ Days Of Africa

    Sean Outram returns to the The Origins Foundation podcast, sitting with Robbie in his home of Lakipia County Kenya to rehash stories of his Great Grandfather and the good old days of Africa. George (his Great Grandpa) lived quite the life - from being documented, trampled by elephants, to pictures of him with Frederick Courtney Selous, to his eventual death by a lioness - it truly was a lesson in old school Africa at its finest.
