Summary: Safari Club International, a nonprofit organization advocating for the "sustainable use" of wildlife, supports the proposed deregulatory revisions to the Endangered Species Act. They argue that the current special rules for importing trophies of African elephants, lions, and argali are inconsistent with Congressional intent, create unnecessary administrative burdens, and undermine foreign conservation programs that rely on hunting revenue.
