"To cherish what remains of the Earth and to foster its renewal is our only
legitimate hope of survival." Wendell Berry

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has four programs that issue permits under a number of wildlife laws and treaties. Offices are located at our headquarters in Arlington, Virginia; at regional offices across the United States; or at some wildlife ports of import/export. If you have a question please contact a program office below so our permit staff can help you, or visit the pertinent program permit web site listed below.

If you do not know which office to contact please see our Permits Overview page at http://www.fws.gov/permits/overview/overview.html, or if you have comments about this web site, please contact us at permits@fws.gov.
