The Origins Foundation Podcast

Wildlife safaris are turning into circus acts—and animal behaviour specialist Sean de la Harpe Parker explains how overtourism, social media, and the chase for close-up sightings can put wildlife at risk. In conversation with Robbie Kroger, Sean shares why ethical guiding starts with slowing down, respecting animals’ behaviour, and letting go of the “checkbox” safari. A thought-provoking episode about the role guests, guides, and the tourism industry can play in protecting the wild.

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.
