Born Free believes that trophy hunting is unethical and unsustainable, and that we should work with policy makers, land managers and local communities to find alternative approaches.

Our report Trophy Hunting: Busting the myths and exposing the cruelty refutes claims that killing wild animals benefits conservation and contributes significantly to local economies.

Wildlife tourism is a is a vital income source across Africa with recent studies showing that local communities benefit more from live animal tourism and safaris than trophy hunting.

Photographic safaris are another positive alternative to trophy hunting. Shooting an animal with a camera, rather than a gun will not only save that animal’s life, but enable it to continue to generate funds through photographic tourism for years to come.

Together we can end this barbaric sport. Your gift today will help us:
 

• Campaign for an end to trophy hunting across the world
• Work with airlines and shipping companies to ban the transportation of trophies
• Put pressure on the UK and other governments to introduce a ban on the import of hunting trophies
• Ensure the captive breeding of lions and other predators for canned hunting and other commercial purposes is brought to an end.
