Modern Hunting

The term “modern hunting” recognises the importance of environmental care and wellbeing that develops through being in nature and experiencing natural cycles, at a time when urbanisation is disconnecting people from nature and increasing pressure on wildlife habitats. The hunting community in South Australia has an outstanding track record in responsible hunting, conserving native species through feral animal management programs and restoration of important wildlife habitats, especially our precious wetlands. The benefits of modern hunting are many, including:

• sourcing healthy wild food

• connecting with nature and caring for it

• maintaining mental health and wellbeing

• maintaining links between urban and rural communities

• nurturing friendships built over generations

• securing resources to maintain healthy habitats and rejuvenate habitats in need

• monitoring, protecting and assisting populations of threatened native species

• collaborating with like-minded organisations to achieve mutual objectives of no species loss.
