• Educate others about the benefits of sustainable use, conservation, proper procedures and hunting ethics.
• Recognise the needs of indigenous rural communities relating to the utilisation of sustainable natural resources.

• Every sport hunter shall pursue an animal only by engaging in fair chase of the quarry. Fair chase is defined as pursuit of a free roaming animal or enclosed roaming animal possessed of the natural behavioural inclination to escape from the hunter and be fully free to do so.
• Said animal is to be hunted without artificial light source, not from a motorised mode of conveyance and in an area that does not by its nature concentrate animals for a specific purpose or at a specific time, such as at a waterhole, salt lick or feeding station.
• No ethical hunter while sport hunting shall take female animals with dependent young. A sport hunted animal should exist as a naturally interacting member of a wild sustainable population located in an area large enough for it to breed and forage or hunt freely. Sport hunted animals should be sustained within a natural state of balance between forage predators and prey.
