When you become a member of SCI, you join a network of over 55,000 like-minded individuals all over the world. Working side by side, holding similar attitudes about the importance and responsibility of being a hunter, SCI members make a tangible difference through conservation efforts in their communities and voicing their concerns to representatives who take them to the floors of Washington.

• To provide a channel for organized efforts to promote a better public understanding and acceptance of sport hunting as an effective tool for wildlife conservation and management.
• To collect, organize and distribute educational information and data regarding wildlife species of the world, and to provide information on hunting opportunities worldwide, but always in consonance with proper biological data, conservation practices, and local, regional, national and international laws, rules and regulations.

Since 2000, SCI has spent $140 million on protecting the freedom to hunt through policy advocacy, litigation, and education for federal and state legislators to ensure hunting is protected for future generations. Through direct involvement and partnerships with like-minded organizations, SCI has become a political force in Washington, D.C. and other world capitals.

SCI members help shape and promote the image of the hunter to non-hunters through their words and actions. In addition to practicing ethical hunting while in the field and around others, members can give back by participating in humanitarian efforts taking place across the globe through the affiliated charitable organization, Safari Club International Foundation.
