* it's always seemed to me that if these are "scientific" collecting 
permits, peer review should somehow be part of the process.

In Ontario herpetology and Quebec malacology we've had numerous 
instances of research permits being denied, or ridiculously restricted, 
to investigators who are the leading conservationists of the taxa in 
question.
