... Although similar to the American marten in terms of the impacts on taxonomic and tropic status on studies, in particular lethal studies involving this animal species, there are other obstacles and barriers with regulations with the yellow-throated marten, for which studies would have to occur outside the United States, Ferguson added. In particular, he said there are challenges related to the IACUC and obtaining permission to acquire and transport drugs needed for anesthesia or euthanasia, which is often illegal given the illicit nature of these drugs in the United States and in other countries.

... As part of the Biological Resources Division, the NPS IACUC established in 2010 uses a One Health approach to protect and promote the health of wildlife, humans, and the environment within national parks, focusing primarily on managing and researching free-ranging wildlife populations. Baeten's 20 years of experience includes working with a wide variety of species ranging from rodents, birds, and small mammals scaling all of the way up to moose and camels, including work with wild caught or captive bred animals maintained in captivity, as well as free-ranging wildlife.

... Appropriate euthanasia and capture methods are always used, she said, including appropriate trap checking intervals, and necessary biosecurity measures are also taken. Another challenge faced by the NPS IACUC is the recent change by journal editors requiring review statements with submissions of manuscripts, which is impacting the NPS's ability to utilize data collected from the many long-term inventory and monitoring programs in scientific publications, Baeten said.
From page 19...
... The NPS IACUC has a specific submission form in these cases, and if the project is deemed to meet the criteria for a field study, an approval memo is issued and no further IACUC oversight is required unless significant changes are made to the animal and handling activities, Baeten said. Looking back at the marten scenarios, either research group might choose to refine their animal monitoring procedures in future years and switch to the use of camera capture to collect reproduction data at den sites, at which point, their monitoring efforts would be considered field studies.

... This is the mechanism by which federal agencies ensure the actions they take, including those that they fund, such as protection of certain tribal lands or the management of those lands for the tribes, do not jeopardize the existence of any listed species based on Secretarial Order 3206, Hickman said. Although the mechanisms for endangered species conservation through interagency cooperation under the ESA may be intended to prevent tribes from bearing a disproportionate burden of regulatory costs (FWS 1973)
