What is required for a general to take a species on the threatened list?

To take a species that is listed as threatened, a general falconer must have authorization from both the state department and the federal government. This process is in place to ensure that the collection and handling of threatened species are conducted in a manner that supports conservation efforts and complies with legal requirements. Authorization typically involves assessing the falconer's training, knowledge, and ability to care for the specific species, ensuring that their collection does not negatively impact the population. The need for permits reflects the responsibility falconers have in managing wildlife ethically and sustainably.

Other options, while they may appear relevant, do not address the overarching requirement for legal compliance in taking a threatened species. Special training and certification, captive breeding, or the notion that there are no restrictions do not align with legal guidelines designed to protect vulnerable wildlife.
