Leading the global community of ethical hunters and conservation advocates
Safari Club International (SCI) represents hunters worldwide who embrace the principles of ethical hunting, responsible use of natural resources, and dedicated conservation efforts. Founded in 1972, SCI has become the largest and most influential organization promoting hunting heritage, wildlife management, and habitat conservation.
Safari Club International was established in 1972 by a group of passionate hunters dedicated to protecting hunting rights and advancing conservation worldwide. What began as a small organization has grown into a global community with chapters on every continent, representing hunters of all backgrounds and experience levels.

Hunters are conservationists. We fund and implement habitat restoration, species protection, and sustainable wildlife management globally.
We bring together hunters worldwide to share knowledge, experiences, and commitment to our hunting heritage and traditions.
Through HuntForever and our programs, we educate hunters about wildlife biology, management practices, and conservation principles.
