Great news!
This is a HUGE WIN for hunters in the Empire State and for sustainable-use wildlife conservation worldwide!
For the 11th straight year, New York legislators attempted to restrict the legal importation of harvested African species from the countries with the largest populations of these species in the world - and who rely on these species to support their well-managed conservation programs.
As always, SCI was quick to point out two facts:
🚨 Adoption of this legislation will undoubtedly have a negative impact on the actual conservation of these species.
🚨 These types of laws are unenforceable and preempted by federal law.
As New York never technically “adjourns,” SCI continues to be vigilant of any extraordinary sessions or state activity until the end of the year. SCI is !
