 What is Conservation Hunting? 

Conservation hunting is hunting undertaken to enhance overall environmental outcomes by managing the impact of game species and lessening the populations of feral animals on our natural and agricultural environments.

The concept and practice of conservation hunting has always been close to the hearts of responsible hunters. Until the establishment of the Game Council, New South Wales had not taken full advantage of the capabilities of private hunters on both public and private land, in an organised, regulated way. Hunting is an important and legitimate tool in nature conservation management, particularly as it relates to over-populations of introduced species.
