Federal and international permits workshop

Federal and International Scientific Permits:
A workshop for natural history museums and collectors
29-31 January 1997
Sponsored by the San Diego Natural History Museum
and co-sponsored by the Association of Systematics Collections
San Diego, California, USA
Registration: $250

Confusion and controversy often surround the process of applying for
and maintaining valid collecting permits. In many cases, the process
is not well understood, new laws and regulations are not well
publicized, or there is confusion about different agencies and
responsibilities.

This bilingual (English and Spanish) workshop will address these problems
by bringing together scientists, agency representatives and collectors
from several countries to examine the problems and provide clarification.
Permit agency representatives will be available at a "permits bazaar" to
answer individual questions and to facilitate on-site permit applications.
