The Origins Foundation Podcast

Yesterday we had a HUGE news story break. We have been keeping it quite a secret for over 2 months now, that we have our first set of cubs out of our Panyame Cheetah Project. However, even though having cubs is the most amazing news story ever, we are just as excited to announce that the entire Panyame Cheetah Project has been picked up by National Geographic and an article has been written about our work. If you had asked Robbie at the beginning of this project and the short life of The Origins Foundation what a goal would have been - it would have been to be featured in National Geographic. Well we have done it, in a short 6 year span as a non-profit.

Robbie travels all over the world spreading the proverbial "gospel" about sustainable use of wildlife. Recently, A Fine Balance, a documentary out of Botswana that looks at the benefits that come from elephant hunting in that country was accepted to be screened at the Pridelands Wildlife Film Festival, in Mombasa Kenya. After the premiere - there was a question and answer with Robbie. Listen to a Q&A that was recorded live of Robbie in Kenya with a moderator (recorded on lav mics) answering questions about the documentary, and specifically about elephant hunting.

If you’ve never heard of The Metapopulation Initiative (TMI), you are about to hear a lot more about them. The TMI started by Vincent Van De Merwe, was an initiative to expand cheetah conservation in Africa and Asia. Vincent was a mover and shaker and didn't always do things by the book - he was so driven by his passion, that he got frustrated with the bureacracy of the world when it came to cheetah conservation. Vinny was the catalyst for our Panyame Cheetah project, and his tragic death just weeks before our historic move of 16 cheetahs changed our outlook on things. In order to continue his legacy, continue what he championed at TMI we needed to figure out something. We, The Origins Foundation, needed to help. In this podcast, Robbie sits down with the directors of TMI in South Africa and discusses the history and the announcement of TMI's partnership with The Origins Foundation.

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!
