Specimen Acquisition
We recognize the role that respect for life and the environment play in biology education, which is why only humane and socially acceptable methods of collection are used for the specimens you'll receive. Fisher Science Education selects suppliers that are in strict accordance with all government guidelines and regulations, and that have all necessary permits for obtaining, processing and transporting specimens. Endangered, threatened and protected wildlife will never be sold.
