Contact Information for Officials

It would be useful to voice your concerns and suggestions about Refuge law enforcement with those in the chain of responsibility for safety on these public lands. In addition to your federal representatives, you can let Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, Fish and Wildlife Service Director Jim Kurth, Chief of the National Wildlife Refuge System Cynthia Martinez, and Regional Chief of the National Wildlife Refuge System David Viker know your thoughts. You may remember meeting David Viker and his family when they came to Friends 2016 Annual Meeting. David grew up in Bronson. His first experience on a refuge was as a volunteer at the Lower Suwannee.

UPDATE: Two members who wrote to Secretary Zinke at the email address we provide report that it bounced. We are looking for one that does not and will update again soon.

Good Morning, Julie. This issue appears to be related to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). Our inquiries indicate that if you live in Canada, you will need a Canadian CITES permit & will have to come through a U.S. 'port of entry for wildlife' to have the Canadian permit validated. I hope this helps. Peg
