HIDE SOURCING:  

This specific Impala was obtained from the culling season in South Africa and is CITES approved to ensure that there has been no illegal culling or poaching. 

These culling mandates determine a well-calculated balance of off-take for the ecosystem's population management. In most cases, the property's outfitter will find a market for the hides & meat, which returns as revenue to the farmer. The farmers use this revenue to help uphold the communities around them by providing employment opportunities and various community developments, such as building schools, clinics, etc. The primary value of the African antelopes [Springbok, Blesbok, Wildebeest, Impala, etc.] derives from the meat unless industries like ourselves buy these hides and add value to them. Without a demand, they will be left in the field and therefore add no further value to this vital income stream that these people most certainly need.

By purchasing this baguette, you not only prevent this impala hide from going to waste but also support the local African economy.
