In the third edition of Debunking the Myths, we take a deeper look at international hunting and its socio-economic contributions to communities and livelihoods.

The myth, Only 3% of revenues from „trophy hunting“ reach local communities, will touch upon a topic that may be familiar to readers.

The CIC has previously addressed and disproven the false claim suggesting that communities in hunting areas receive only „3%“ of hunting revenues.

In this infographic, we highlight the exact origins of the 3% figure, and also provide examples of the various direct and indirect benefits of international hunting.
