Tourism Without Trophy Hunting
We are working to stop the needless hunting of a and endangered wildlife — including elephants, rhinos, lions, leopards, wolves and grizzly bears.
Trophy Hunting Threatens Wildlife and Undermines Conservation
Trophy hunters pursue wildlife in head-hunting gambits, often targeting some of the rarest and most majestic animals in the world. Threatened and endangered species — including elephants, rhinos, lions, leopards, wolves, and grizzly bears — can become targets. In some cases, trophy hunters even shoot animals in captive settings.
Beyond the needless killing of individual animals, trophy hunting can undermine wildlife tourism by reducing animal populations and making surviving animals more wary of people. Yet some countries continue to promote both trophy hunting and wildlife tourism, despite the far greater number of participants and revenues generated by wildlife tourism.
End Globe-Trotting Trophy Hunting and Protect Wildlife Tourism
We are working to end the practice of globe-trotting trophy hunting and promote a more sustainable approach to wildlife conservation. Wildlife tourism already generates substantially greater participation and economic value than trophy hunting, providing a powerful alternative that allows communities and countries to benefit from living wildlife rather than killing it.
By challenging trophy hunting and supporting wildlife tourism, we can protect vulnerable species, preserve healthy animal populations, and strengthen the economies that depend on wildlife remaining alive and thriving.
