A permit is required to conduct academic research on wild species. Permits are also required for detecting or observing wild species for commercial, industrial, or development purposes, such as pre-screening surveys, baseline data collection, or habitat assessments.
Permits are not required for personal, recreational or educational activities (e.g. community science projects), as long as the observations are non-invasive and unrelated to development projects.
