We just released a new case study and the results are grim: Elephant trophy imports are soaring in Trump's second term. The Trump administration permitted the import of more than 300 elephant trophies in 2025, based on federal government records obtained via the U.S. Freedom of Information Act. By comparison, the first Trump administration reported importing 114 elephant trophies in 2018 Hunting elephants for sport takes the biggest, healthiest males out of the population, skewing elephant genetics and harming their social fabric. With so many trophy hunters coming from the United States, our government should be helping to police the trophy trade, not rubberstamping imports.
