The federal government has quietly said it will consider Big Game Trophy Imports on a case by case basis. After a global outcry Trump put Zinke’s decision to reverse Obama’s Trophy Import Ban on hold in November 2017. When reviewing applications for trophy imports, the agency will consider “the status of and management program for the species or population to ensure that the program is promoting the conservation of the species” GMFER does not believe that trophy hunting fees help threatened species or provide aid to the communities that live within close proximity to the animals. It is has been conclusively proven that photographic tourism provides far more funding for conservation and increases the total GDP of the country exponentially.
