: : I need to find out who I need to contact for applying for a scientific permit for collecting animals in Namibia for a comparitive lab study on husbandry and breeding behavior. all help is appreciated. Please contact me offlist thanks michael : Micheal, : You must contact the WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT in NAMIBIA. Try to get one of the higher ranked officers. : What you need to do is make a list of animals you are probably gonna catch and export. : So make a list of CITES II animals your want to take back : make a list of CITES I animals you want to take back (try to be very accurate!!) : make a list of NON-CITES animals yu want to take back : You need to give your personal ID (Passport & Social No. + Signed papers of your Institute) : They will probably also ask for the passports (Copies) of the catchers and handlers and the rest of your team. : If this is done, you probably will have a collecting license after this. DO NOT TRY TO BUY THEM OFF (you can end up in JAIL) : It also depend on the quantities you want to collect and for what specific reason. ALL THE ANIMALS ARE FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH : THIS MEANS YOU CAN NOT SELL THEM TO A THIRT PARTY (even with CITES II animals) : Arrange this PRIOR TO YOUR JOURNEY TO NAMIBIA because this kind of paperwork takes very long and you must have patience. : Also have a contact back home if you have recieved the papers / documents in Namibia. They have to be send back to arrange : the import LICENSES and CITES I / CITES II and NON-CITES documents. Namibia is CLOSED for COMMERCIAL TRADE so it must be for SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH!! : I hope I helped you in some way! : I wish you good luck, : Gerben
