However, under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA, permits may be issued to authorize ‘‘incidental take’’ of listed wildlife species. Incidental take is defined by the ESA as take that is incidental to, and not the purpose of, carrying out an otherwise lawful activity. Regulations governing permits for endangered and threatened species are at 50 CFR 17.22 and 50 CFR 17.32, respectively.
