> A visiting reseach assistant professor (2 yr. contract) would like to

> wild bird.  He personally has a federal permit to carry out capturing,
> marking and releasing of wild animal.

> PROBLEM:  Our insititution does not have a license to work with
> any animals.  If the PI doesn't perform capturing, marking, and
> releasing activities and has his own federal permit, is the institution
> clear?  Or, what do we need to do to protect the welfare of animal
> as well as to perform the research?
> What do we need (or approval) for the same professor to perform a
> similar task via previous arrangement in Costa Rica?
