The following applicants have applied for a permit to conduct

The applicant requests a permit to import a female chimpanzee which
originated in Zaire, Africa, and is now located in Haiti and
immediately export it to Zambia, Africa, to the Chimfunshi Wildlife
Orphanage which specializes in rehabilitating and reintroducing

economic situation in Haiti, in accordance with section 10(c) of the
Endangered Species Act, the Fish and Wildlife Service reserves the
right to issue this permit during the 30 day comment period in the
event that the current owners of this chimpanzee must leave the country
