Oppose Harmful Anti-Hunting Language in Interior Appropriations Bill Contact Congress TODAY and urge them to OPPOSE the inclusion of defacto trophy bans in the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. The U.S. House of Representatives is currently working on the Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations bill for FY2023. Current language in Section 439 of the bill would place an effective ban on the import of elephant or lion trophies from Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Neither the hunting regulations in these countries nor conservation status of these species warrant a defacto trophy ban, and the decision to place restrictions is seemingly random and based solely on emotions. Congress should not pass a bill that ignores science, damages rural African communities, hurts conservation, and negatively impacts biodiversity. Act now!

South Africa’s Minister of Health Dr. Joe Phaahla said in a statement announcing the repeal, “We have reached a turning point since the outbreak of COVID-19 in the world and in the country.” After three weeks of monitoring continuing declines in daily cases, hospitalizations, positivity rates and deaths, health officials suspended all indoor mask requirements, limitations on gatherings and proof of vaccination and PCR test results at ports of entry.
