SCI’s Effective Communication with Ethiopian Government Helps Hunting Community

In early 2009, Safari Club International (SCI) learned that trophy fees were being immediately increased by the Ethiopian Government. Many SCI members will recall the letter sent on April 6, 2009 by SCI requesting a reversal of these fee increases and asking that a significant portion of the trophy revenue should be reinvested in local communities to help sustainable use conservation (here). SCI received a response from the Ethiopian Wildlife and Conservation Authority (EWCA) (attached) and continued follow-up communications with the Director General of the EWCA (here).
