Endangered
Species Permits Contacts
Most endangered and threatened species permits
are issued by the regional office for the area where the activity will
take place. The exception is Interstate Commerce permits, which are issued
by the office of the “lead region" for the affected species, not the region where the activity will take place.
Directions
at the bottom of this page will help you determine
which region is the lead region for the species of interest.
Fish and wildlife management
is also handled by states, territories, and tribes. Your activity may
require one or more permits from another regulatory agency as well. See
the list of state and
territorial fish and wildlife offices
for their contact information.
