On July 21, 2006, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) issued a permit (PRT– 108841) to the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, Virginia, to import biological samples from wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) in Tanzania for the purpose of scientific research. This action was authorized under Section 10(c) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The Service determined that an emergency affecting the health and life of the chimpanzees at the Mahale Mountains National Park and Rubondo Island National Park in Tanzania existed and that no reasonable alternative was available to the applicant for the following reasons. Virginia Polytechinic Institute and State University requested a permit to import biological samples (bodily tissues and organs, hair, saliva, and other body parts) from the forest floor and from deceased animals found in the Mahle Mountains National Park in Kigoma, Tanzania, and Rubondo Island National Park in Mwanza, Tanzania, for emergency and ongoing health and disease evaluation purposes. Samples will be utilized exclusively for diagnostic and scientific purposes. The specimens will be used to run diagnostics tests to determine the cause of death. The necessary diagnostic testing is not available in Africa. The results of health and disease testing from these chimpanzees will help determine why the animals died in order to develop interventions to help prevent reoccurrence.
