Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is seeking two members for a committee to review requests from people who want to import non-classified exotic species into Montana.
Montana law regulates the import of exotic wildlife into Montana to minimize human health risks and potential risks to Montana’s wildlife.
“To carry out a 2003 law, a committee, including members of the public, will classify exotic species such as monkeys, venomous snakes or any previously unclassified exotic species into groups that will be controlled, uncontrolled and prohibited,” said Tim Feldner, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks wildlife permit manager. “We are now accepting nominations from the public for two positions on this newly established Classification Review Committee.”
The two vacant positions on the committee are for a member with a business that involves breeding or exhibiting exotic wildlife and a member of the general public who has an interest in fish or wildlife. Individuals will be selected by FWP for a two-year term and meetings will be scheduled on an as needed basis.
For more information, or to nominate individuals for these positions, contact FWP at 406-444-4039 or by email:
