Trophy hunting

We petition governments to protect vulnerable animals under national laws from harmful international trade. In the U.S., we litigate to protect species listed under the Endangered Species Act, like gray wolves and grizzly bears.

We collaborate with airlines to prohibit the transport of hunting trophies. The top five of the world’s largest airline groups have banned the transport of certain or all hunting trophies on their carriers, and travel companies, such as Booking.com and Expedia, have banned the sale or promotion of trophy hunts on their sites.

We support and win bans around the world on the import of hunting trophies from imperiled species, and work at the U.S. state and federal level to reduce and end the trophy hunting of native carnivores. 

We campaign globally against trophy hunting of vital and imperiled species and the international trade in hunting trophies. This work reminds people that trophy hunting is still happening and contributing to wildlife population decline.
