Many hunters understand how important international conservation is, especially in developing countries, but sometimes they forget about the issues related to hunting and wildlife protection at home. The Northwest Chapter of Safari Club International supports local conservation by taking several different approaches. Every year, sportsmen spend millions on tags and licenses, funding biologists, game wardens, and law enforcement. The Northwest Chapter also increases these funds by auctioning big game tags and hosting an Annual Banquet, where they raise more money for education, broaden opportunities, and oppose laws that limit the rights of hunters and sportsmen.
