Bush & Plains Game

​

Hunting for food has always been and continues to be an important aspect of life in rural African hunter-gatherer communities. Communal conservancies utilise wildlife sustainably, which includes the harvesting of meat through the sale of hunting safaris, which is intrinsically based upon researched quotas and regulation.

​

Wildlife populations have increased where the guiding principle is - if a resource has value, people will conserve it.

​

Fortunately, thanks to the many conservation benefits that stem from well-regulated management hunting, populations of most species of game in Africa are thriving.

KENYA WILDLIFE LOSS

Kenya has lost, on average 68% of her wildlife since banning game hunting in 1977, though not attributed totally to the ban, it shows the conservation value, well managed hunting contributes. 1

​

It goes without saying, that all the hunting concessions we use are managed under sustainable-use wildlife conservation programmes - where scientific, evidence-based population surplus quote is issued, per species.

 

In-turn, this surplus can be ethically harvested, to benefit the local people, through employment and game utilisation i.e. game meat, skin etc., and a sustainable ‘net biodiversity gain’ can be achieved for the ecosystem.
