the Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and
other law enforcement agencies in prosecuting criminal violations of the Clean

Endangered Species Act. These cases, handled in conjunction with the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service and NOAA Fisheries Enforcement (National Marine Fisheries
Service), involve smuggling and illegal trafficking in protected wildlife,
illegal take of protected species, and hunting offenses.
