(May 5, 2020 – DALLAS) — As a part of DSC / DSC Foundation’s Hunters CARE (COVID Anti-poaching Relief Effort) initiative, the DSC Foundation has unveiled plans for the creation of the DSCF COVID-19 Relief Fund designed to raise money in support of critical anti-poaching efforts. Additional components of this significant and important effort will be announced soon.
Hunting operators largely self-fund anti-poaching efforts. Due to the devastating financial impact of the Coronavirus pandemic and the resulting loss of hunting revenue used to fund those efforts, the need for anti-poaching assistance has never been greater.
Poaching has not abated during the pandemic. In fact, reports suggest it, along with habitat degradation, is on the increase as poaching syndicates take advantage of the turmoil. Our world is facing a wildlife and habitat crisis that is unfolding before our very eyes.
DSC Foundation has a long history of supporting anti-poaching measures. To address this urgent need, the DSCF COVID-19 Relief Fund has been established to receive donations specifically earmarked for anti-poaching efforts.
In addition, DSC Foundation announced its intention to accept directed donations for specific anti-poaching projects designated by the donor.
Donations to the DSCF COVID-19 Relief Fund, including directed donations, will be applied strictly to approved and fully vetted anti-poaching projects without reduction for overhead or operating expenses. Donors are thus assured that their donations will have maximum impact.
