The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and our partner Fiocchi are committed to increasing the visibility of poaching incidents to reduce poaching nationwide. Poaching robs sportsmen and women as well as everyday citizens of opportunities to view and pursue wildlife. It also demeans our renewable, wild natural resources. Hunting is tightly regulated and controlled, and hunters are the first line of defense in cracking down on poaching and any other illegal activity in the field.
Individual actions, no matter how small, contribute to the collective effort in combatting poaching. By raising awareness, supporting conservation efforts, and making responsible choices, everyone can play a crucial role in protecting wildlife and their habitats.
Below are several ways you can help.
