WWF does not promote or support hunting generally and is opposed to hunting that threatens species or habitat sustainability. At the same time, WWF recognises that communities use wildlife and these uses include hunting and fishing. 
 
As a leading conservation organisation, WWF is concerned mainly with illegal or unsustainable exploitation of wildlife.  Within this framework, WWF accepts or supports hunting in a very limited number of contexts where it is culturally appropriate, legal and effectively regulated, and has demonstrated environmental and community benefits.
