Permits enable the public to engage in legitimate wildlife-related activities and ensures that such activities are carried out in a manner that safeguards wildlife. Additionally, some permits promote conservation efforts by authorizing scientific research, generating data, or allowing wildlife management and rehabilitation activities to go forward.

At the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge, wildlife comes first. For this reason, Special Use Permits (SUP) are required for the following uses:

• General Use (could include litter cleanups, border education tours and humanitarian efforts).
• Research Use (could include surveys, monitoring and collecting data).
• Commercial Use (could include commercial filming, fee-based tours and bee keeping).
