Permits Issued To Work With Endangered Species
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued permits under section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species Act allowing listed applicants to conduct certain activities with endangered species. The notice lists ePermits (for example, PER19299054 through PER18727705) with application dates ranging from July 14, 2025, to November 6, 2025, showing which applicants received permits.
Permits Subject To Protective Conditions
Each issued permit was granted only after review and is "subject to certain conditions set forth in each permit," and the Service found each application filed in good faith and that the permit "would not operate to the disadvantage of the endangered species" and is consistent with the ESA. Permit holders must follow those conditions when conducting activities.
