The Endangered Species Act (ESA) protects all federally listed animals from direct slaughter, abduction or other activities that may harm the species. Federally listed plants enjoy similar protections, but direct prohibitions on killing or removal are limited to federal states.

The Department of Natural Resources may issue permits for the taking, transport, possession or export of species classified as endangered or threatened (E/T) for educational, zoological, scientific or conservation purposes. Approved species and associated records are available for consultation at any time. Licensees are required to submit annual reports and should therefore maintain accurate records of all actions taken with respect to the types of E/T held by the licensee.

In the event of an inspection, accurate and up-to-date records must be kept at all times, as well as the required annual report. In 1972, Wisconsin passed a state endangered species law. Under the umbrella of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, the state created rules and regulations and identified species to be protected.
