About

The South African Taxidermy & Tannery Association (SATTA) was established in October 2016 with the aim to become the officially recognized body to serve the Taxidermy, Tannery and Dip & Pack industry in South Africa. We are actively working with government, related organizations and associations to secure the future for a legitimate industry, and in addition to raise the profile and standard within the South African industry. Our responsibility is not only towards SATTA members, but the industry at large to promote and enhance taxidermy and any associated services.

 The SATTA mandate is to improve the industry and to benefit members.

We are continuously pursuing various avenues as part of our service delivery to members, including promoting networking and advertising opportunities, disciplinary matters, sourcing of member benefits.

 SATTA maintains contact with other organizations, conservation bodies and other role-players on both the local and international level, to stay abreast of developments within our, and related industries. This enables SATTA to be an important source of industry news and information for our members.

 SATTA liaises with all levels of government to give our industry a voice in the development of government initiatives, transformation, social responsibility, and funding projects, and most importantly in the compilation of legislation and regulations that affect permits. SATTA endeavors to communicate to the public and government that our industry is relevant, responsible and accountable.
