The Origins Foundation Podcast

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.

Robbie sits down with Mark Haldane, owner of Zambeze Delta Safaris in Coutada 11, Mozambique, one of the most pristine wilderness areas in the world. Mark has been part of one of the greatest wildlife success stories on the planet. From the 24 Lions project to the reintroduction of Cheetah, this is one of many examples of what hunters do for conservation in Africa and this conversation gives you a little bit more insight to what happens on the ground in Africa. This podcast is a very unique podcast - you will essentially virtually travel with Robbie and Mark as they drive through the Sand Forest ecosystem in Coutada 11 in search of a Suni (a small antelope endemic to this part of Mozambique). This field experience embeds you in the place with Robbie and team experiencing it with them through an audio medium.

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!
