Avian conservation under the Endangered Species Act: expenditures versus recovery priorities
Article Abstract:
The state and federal government expenditures for recovery of threatened and endangered birds from 1992 to 1995 are examined to find out if the priority system was being followed. Results reveal that to improve the relationship between the recovery spending on threatened and endangered birds and their priority rank, major changes have to be made within the private sector, U.S. Congress, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Studies done on the relationship between authorship and the use of biological information in recovery plans under the U.S. Endangered Species Act is discussed. Results of the studies reveal that modifying the choice of participants in the recovery planning process can increase the use of biological information in recovery measures recommended in recovery plans and thus influence the eventual success of recovery efforts.
