Over the last 5 years, The Origins Foundation has developed relationships with the finest hunting operators and outfitters all across the world. All of these operators and outfitters have multiple things in common: 1) they create significant benefits for people, wildlife, and communities all over the world, 2) struggle to tell the world those benefits, 3) they support, without reservation, the mission of The Origins Foundation, and 4) have said yes to us, where others have said no. The Helix Program will be a central repository of information, data, and content from our operators and outfitters at the ground level to show the world the true consequence of hunting. It will provide data that can be converted into multiple formats to be promoted into the digital media-sphere.
