SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
With some exceptions, the ESA

is issued that allows such activity. The
ESA’s definition of ‘‘take’’ includes such
activities as pursuing, harassing,
trapping, capturing, or collecting, in
addition to hunting, shooting, harming,
wounding, or killing.
A recovery permit issued by us under

authorizes the permittee to conduct
