Not a direct example, although I know there are some (I just don't trust my personal knowledge on African hunts) from the US: The Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937 was lobbied for by hunters to self-tax (excise taxes) and reversed a long decline of wildlife in North America. The taxes raised $1.3 billion in 2025 alone, dedicated to state wildlife conservation and public access projects. This is one pillar, there's a fishing one, duck stamps, etc.: hunters pay their own way for conservation (well, much of the P-R money is gun/ammo sales from non-hunters, but hey). |
