The Claim
In South Africa, the scientific consensus is that the benefits of trophy hunting outweigh its economic, conservation, social, and ethical costs.
The available evidence does not establish the asserted scientific consensus. Research identifies possible economic or conservation benefits from particular, well-managed hunting programs, but also documents disputed outcomes, risks, social opposition, and unresolved ethical costs. No cited body of evidence demonstrates broad expert agreement that trophy hunting’s benefits outweigh its combined costs in South Africa.
