Most money for endangered species goes to a small number of creatures, leaving others in limbo
Since the passage of the Endangered Species Act, over 1,700 species in the US have been listed as threatened or endangered. However, there are disparities in funding allocation, with half of the $1.2 billion spent annually going towards the recovery of salmon and steelhead trout. Many species, including the Virginia fringed mountain snail, stoneflies, and California tiger salamander, receive little or no funding. The plant kingdom, which was almost excluded from the conservation law, also receives inadequate funding. Scientists suggest redirecting funds from species with excessive funding to those with none or less.
