Trophy Hunting

Trophy hunting is a regulated activity where hunters pay to hunt and capture specific, usually large or rare, wild animals—such as lions, elephants, or deer—primarily to collect parts like skulls or antlers as keepsakes or symbols of achievement. Often conducted in designated areas, it is intended to generate income that funds conservation efforts, habitat preservation, and local community development. Critics argue it can threaten species, while supporters believe it can promote sustainable use when managed responsibly, balancing ecological health with economic benefits for local populations.
