    Requirements:

    The intent of Minnesota's Endangered Species Law is to retain or restore healthy populations of the state's endangered, threatened, and special concern plants and animals. A permit is required to take, pursue, capture, kill, dig up, dispose, destroy, purchase, import, possess, transport or sell live or dead endangered or threatened plants or animals, including their parts or seeds. Permit issuance is discretionary and based on the DNR's assessment of all relevant information.
