Endangered species permits are EXTREMELY difficult to come by in NY state. Matt is the only person I know who has one, although there are others. If you want one there are a few key things you need to know. Unlike the VRI, they want EXACT reasons as to why you want to keep any of the species, so by saying you want to breed them or for scientific research isn't good enough. The DEC wants to know how many years experience you have, they want references from professionals or from others who have their ESP, they want to see a college degree in biology, and they want to see you holding a position that has something to do with biology.
The VRI isn't that difficult to get, the ESP is a completely different story.
I'm sure Matt will have more to add.
