NOW SEEKING ADVENTURERS, CORPORATE SPONSORS, RESEARCHERS—AND YOU!

Welcome to EPIC

We started as a child's vision in a small house in a little village.

We spread from heart to heart across states and across nations.

We became a non-profit with a defining voice

dedicated to the people & biggest "beasts" on the planet.
