The Endangered Species Act requires the U.S. Secretary of the Interior (on behalf of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) to account for all identifiable federal spending on endangered and threatened species conservation on a species-by-species basis. The law also authorizes land acquisition, including bodies of water, for the conservation of federally listed species. The information below contains total species-specific federal funding spent on land acquisition for listed species from 2012 to 2014.[1]
HIGHLIGHTS
Fiscal year 2014
The table below shows the species for which land was acquired in fiscal year 2013, their endangered/threatened status, and the amount each species was reported to have received for land acquisition from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other federal agencies.
In total, $112.3 million in federal funds was spent on land acquisition for specific species in 2014. Of that total, $31 million was spent by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service while other federal agencies accounted for $81.3 million of land acquisition spending. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service accounted for 28 percent of total land acquisition spending in 2014.
