Deliver the trophy hunting import ban

In 2025, the Albanese Government promised to ban hunting trophy imports from an additional 20 species, including giraffes, zebras, hippos, wolves and polar bears. But more than a year later, that promise has still not been delivered.  Instead, between 2023 and 2025, more than 460 trophies from protected species were imported into Australia.

Some of these imports included a black bear rug with head and claws, a zebra skin ottoman, a giraffe table, a hippo clock, and a wolf rug with head, feet, claws and tail attached. 

Australians overwhelmingly support action. New national polling found that 91% oppose trophy hunting and 93% want the Government to fulfil its commitment to expand Australia's trophy hunting import ban. 

Wild animals belong in the wild, not in shipping containers destined for Australia. 

Send a message to Federal Environment Minister Murray Watt and urge him to honour the Government’s promise to implement the ban now.
