Conservation in South Africa: Hunting, Wildlife, and the Truth on the Ground with Riaan Jacobs
Wednesday, 22 April, 2026
In this episode of Talk Is Sheep, the official podcast of the Wild Sheep Society of British Columbia, Kyle sits down in South Africa with Riaan Jacobs of Bosveld Jacobs Safaris to discuss conservation, hunting, and the realities of wildlife management on the ground.This is a fascinating conversation about the role hunting has played in restoring wildlife populations across South Africa, the importance of putting value on wildlife, and the challenges posed by corruption, poaching, predator management, and anti-hunting politics. The discussion explores how private landowners, outfitters, and hunters have helped drive the return of abundant wildlife, while also addressing difficult issues surrounding elephants, leopards, rhinos, habitat loss, and the broader future of conservation in Africa.The episode also highlights the family roots and hunting heritage behind Bosveld Jacobs Safaris, the professionalism and hospitality of their operation, and why so many Wild Sheep Society of BC members have come home raving about their experience.This is an honest, fact-driven conversation about conservation, coexistence, and the value of sustainable wildlife management.Presented by: @sitkagearSupported by:@yeti@zeisshunting@frontiersmengear@onxhunt@stoneglacier@wild_tv@schnee_hunt@precision.optics@gunwerks
