The Origins Foundation Podcast

The best part of what occurs at The Origins Foundation is being able to build projects that have intangible benefits to people. Intangibles are things you cannot buy - i.e., happiness, joy, and hope. One of the best projects that can really make an impact on these intangibles is sport, specifically the beautiful game- soccer. On today's From the Field, join Robbie in the Eastern Cape of South Africa at Baroda School for the grand opening of their soccer field. None of this would have been possible without Carl Van Zyl and his team at John X Safaris as well as the folks from GunWerks. We are extremely grateful to have been part of this special day and it is times like these that remind us why we do what we do. Enjoy this experience with us, it's one to remember!

Continuing our miniseries on the cross-border discussion of elephant hunting out of Tanzania and Kenya, 3rd generation Tanzanian, hunting professional and current chairman of the Tanzania Hunters and Operators Association, Robbie and Michel explore the the viewpoint of the Michel and TAHOA on the elephant debate. As we have noted in previous podcasts, as typical to issues, there are two sides to every discussion, and especially with something so controversial like elephant hunting those sides can be quite polarizing. If this is the first in the podcast series that you are listenting to we would encourage you to go a listen to the other 4 in the series that covers the professional hunter involved in some of the hunts, the community manager of the Enduimet WMA, Dr Kohi, talking about Tanzanian elephant and habitat conservation efforts, as well as Richard Bonham, the co-founder of Big Life Foundation from the Kenyan perspective.

Lizanne Nel from SA Hunters and Game Conservation discusses the recent legal and legislative developments in South Africa related to animal well-being and welfare, the implications for conservation, hunting, and wildlife management, and the challenges of defining and implementing these concepts. NEMBA is the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act. It is the legal framework for conservation and sustainable use in South Africa, and it gives the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment its mandate. This podcast provides great insight as Robbie and Lizanne dive into what comes next with regulations and possible future cases. Tune in to learn more.

When one thinks of poaching, the mind often turns to Africa—snares, and people involved in the illegal bushmeat trade. Few would think of poaching occurring in the United States of America. Boone and Crockett Club President Tony Schoonen and researcher Jon Gassett join Robbie to talk about the Club’s new Poach and Pay program. This enormous undertaking to understand poaching in the U.S. revealed a massive “dark number” of poachers—and what that means for the landscapes and lifestyles we love. It’s an incredibly fascinating episode where you’ll learn the data and science behind the true impact of poaching in the U.S. today, what motivates it, and what steps can be taken to combat its staggering scale. This is the kind of podcast you’ll definitely be talking about with your colleagues around the water cooler—or the coffee pot—in the morning.

A Kazakh horse expert living in Wyoming argues that America’s wild horse debate needs more honest, practical conversation—even when the answers are uncomfortable. Jamila shares her unique perspective on Kazakhstan's horse culture, the management of wild horses in the US, and innovative ideas for sustainable livestock practices. Discover how her background influences her advocacy and what solutions she proposes for wild horse management.

Robbie talks with Jamila about her journey from Kazakhstan and Germany to Yale and Wyoming, where she became involved in livestock, conservation, and the wild horse issue. Their conversation ranges from traditional Kazakh horse dishes to the complexities of federal horse policy, tribal communities, and the pressure of public opinion.

In this episode, we go behind the scenes at Splitting Image Taxidermy in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, to uncover the people, craftsmanship, and livelihoods behind the taxidermy industry. Through conversations with the team, we explore the artistry involved, the opportunities created for local communities, and the family-like culture built around hard work and mentorship. More importantly, we challenge perceptions surrounding hunting and conservation, highlighting the human impact of the industry and the importance of understanding the full story before forming an opinion. Because championing the truth around hunting starts with the people and communities whose lives depend on it.

Kruger Park is hiding a 1,000-year-old trade story—and the clues are in the bones. Archaeozoologist Dr. Annie Antonites reveals how animal remains, rare Persian Gulf ceramics, and isotope analysis are rewriting what we thought we knew about the people who lived along the Letaba River. From her office at the Ditsong National Museum of Natural History, Annie explains how archaeozoology works, why South Africa is an archaeological goldmine, and what bones can tell us about hunting, herd movement, seasonality, and ancient human-animal relationships.

In this Podcast, Robbie speaks with filmmaker Juliette Marquis about ‘Hornmaker', her documentary exploring biosynthetic Rhino horn and the systems shaping wildlife conservation. They unpack the economics behind the illegal trade, the controversy around proposed solutions, and the difficult question of how conservation efforts can be held accountable.The conversation also looks at what gives rhino horn its value, why carved objects—not just medicinal uses—are central to the market, and why the artisans and traders who handle the material may be important to understanding how it works. Juliette shares what surprised her during years of research, including concerns about conservation strategies, demand-reduction campaigns, and whether organizations are truly measuring their impact.

In this first of a two part series on rhino conservation (one of the most delicate, complex and nuanced areas of conservation) Robbie sits down with the fan favorite Slots Media boys (and newbie Freddie) to discuss Rhino conservation on the ground. This podcast was recorded right after a rhino hunt, and just before a lot of fieldwork around Rhino conservation. Robbie wanted to gain their perception and perspective of how they feel about the hunt, generally about Rhino Conservation, BEFORE they spent several weeks learning all about it. Be sure to tune in for part two in a couple weeks!
