Hunters have always played a major role in wildlife conservation in the United States.
Hunters contribute their time, effort and money directly to wildlife conservation activities.
Safari Club International and its sister organization, the Safari Club International Foundation, are organizations of sport hunters. Based in the United States, SCI has over 200 chapters around the world. SCI and SCIF represent more than one million men and women and are proud to be leaders in the tradition of wildlife conservation by hunters. The use of wildlife, which has occurred since the beginning of mankind, can provide strong incentives for conservation. Many countries are now beginning to understand that even rare species can benefit from sustainable use, including controlled hunting programs.
