Safari Club International
All hunters are keenly aware of the natural world and the requirements of land and water that make it vibrant and that support a wide variety of wildlife. The hunter-members of SCI support legal and ethical hunting based on the concepts of science based sustainable use.
Hunters continue to support the revolution in wildlife management in the USA started by Theodore Roosevelt and his fellow sportsmen that has brought species such as white-tailed deer, wild turkeys and elk back from the brink of extinction to plentitude. Hunters willingly pay a tax on sporting goods in the US that provides billions of dollars of support to wildlife management and conservation. On a global scale, hunters support the concepts of sustainable use and community-based natural resource management that conserve iconic species such as the lion, elephants, rhinoceros, leopards and cheetahs.
SCI is headquartered in Washington, D.C. in the USA and operates in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Europe and elsewhere around the world. From its headquarters, SCI educates policy-makers, regulators and the public globally on the role of hunting in society and the economy. Through its chapters, SCI raises millions of dollars for local conservation, education and humanitarian activities. In conjunction with its sister organization, the SCI Foundation, SCI provides on-the-ground conservation and anti-poaching funding.
