Applicant: Roger Williams Park Zoo, Providence, RI.

    The applicant requests a permit to import ten parma wallabies

Zealand, for the purpose of enhancement of the survival of the species 
through captive propagation. The parma wallaby was introduced to Kawau 
Island and is subject to eradication efforts by the New Zealand 
government. The import of these animals would serve as an alternative 
to extermination and introduce new founder stock into captive breeding 
efforts. The animals would be maintained at Brevard Zoo, Buffalo Zoo, 
Riverbanks Zoo, Roger Williams Park Zoo, and San Diego Zoo.

held and wild specimens of endangered and threatened Cyclura species,

notification covers activities conducted by the applicant over a period 
of 5 years.
