World Hunting Celebration Comes To Nashville

The annual Safari Club International convention is the Super Bowl of hunting. SCI has more than 50,000 members and 180 affiliates in different parts of the world. More than 700 vendors came from all over the world to participate in the 2022 SCI convention.Safari Club International They will raise millions of dollars to support conservation efforts. Millions of dollars have been raised for efforts to reach far corners of the planet where foreign hunters have helped to protect hundreds of species and given value to their habitats. However, history is full of examples of what happens to such economic incentives when hunting bans are lifted. The most famous example of what happens after hunting bans is Kenya. In 1973, the regulation of elephant hunting was lifted in Kenya. The vast herds were then slaughtered by poachers who had no financial support from hunter-funded antipoaching teams. Poachers kill, snare and poison wildlife to make it disappear from the landscape. Elsie Kanza (American-educated economist) is Tanzania's ambassador to America. She says that the US is where the most hunters visit Tanzania. "Hunting plays a significant role in conservation because it sustains our conserved areas, which account for about one-third our country's entire country. This is achieved by balancing anti-poaching funding with managing game populations to ensure a healthy ecosystem that is essential for the survival of these world heritage sites.

Although hunting may be unpleasant for some, there is no sustainable way forward without it. This is especially true across Africa. Artworks Taxidermy brought this amazing wildlife scene to life. Without hunters, species such as the mountain nyala (a large spiral-horned antelope that lives in the Ethiopian highlands) would have disappeared many decades ago. It's more than just the money hunters bring, it's also the voice they give through groups such as Safari Club International. This voice echoes from Washington D.C. and Addis Ababa to advance science-based wildlife management in landscapes that are forever under threat by human encroachment. This premise is based on the simple truth that wildlife that has value for people will survive. As the world has seen, those without this value are often sacrificed in order to achieve other priorities. These truths are known by the SCI convention attendees, despite the refusal of many mainstream media to admit them. Every hunter and SCI are engaged in fighting the greatest misinformation campaign of our time. This is being supported and encouraged by a media that is content to follow the narratives of animal right groups, whose track record in conserving wildlife has been poor. Teddy Roosevelt, who was a man of conviction and intellect, was one of America's most influential Presidents. He wrote, more than a century ago, "In a civilized country wild animals only exist when they are preserved by sportsmen." This is a reality that continues to endure today and extends around the world. You'll find bronzes and paintings from some of the most skilled wildlife artists in the convention's endless aisles. Immaculate firearms made by the world's top gunmakers will also be on display. These guns are the product of thousands of hours spent by master engravers and represent exquisite pieces of sporting artwork. The taxidermy exhibits here are unlike anything you will see in America's top natural science museums. A variety of bespoke furnishings and accessories that enhance the outdoor lifestyles of many guests will also be displayed. Another mainstay of the convention is an auction for gear, trips, and custom goods. Many consider that enough reason to be part of the greatest conservation and hunting show on Earth.
