of Africa where previously stable populations, like that of elephant and rhino, have significantly decreased. The 64th General Assembly of the International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation (CIC) opened its doors in Montreux, Switzerland, in 2017 with the motto is "Harmony with Wildlife - Urban and Rural Perceptions". This slogan was selected as over the past couple years, with the rise of easily-accessible media reports and social connectivity, differences in perceptions of hunting and hunters are increasingly conflicting in all areas of the world. These strongly opposing views create a divide among people which is deepened with the increasing presence of media in our lives where information, either correct or not, can reach hundreds of thousands of people in a matter of days.

The 65th General Assembly of the International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation under the motto "Hunting: Facts or Fables?" was organized in Madrid, Spain, on 4-5 May 2018. During the two day event, the participants discussed and deliberated the aspects of hunting, which are currently under attack by its opponents. The 66th General Assembly was organised in Windhoek, in the capital of Namibia in 2019 in the framework of an international conference under the theme "Crossroads- Leading the Way for Wildlife Conservation". The conference, hosted by the Ministry of Environment and Tourism of Namibia, served as a platform for workshop style discussions and presentations on wildlife conservation successes, challenges, and best practices from Namibia, Africa and across the world. At a time when wildlife conservation appears to be at a crossroads, this conference brings together various stakeholders to discuss related issues from African, European, and Global perspectives, as well as taking a unique look at the important roles youth and women will play in the future success of conservation efforts. The ultimate aim being to bring conservation efforts together onto a common path. The 67th General Assembly of the CIC in 2021 was a special one. Not only was it be hosted in Budapest, the home of the CIC Administrative Office, it was also held within the framework of Hungary’s One with Nature – World of Hunting and Nature Exhibition.
