In the table below - a simple live visualization produced using the software program Tableau Public - you can see each species and total spending by agencies. The color of the number shows the status reported in that year. Blue is stable. Red is declining, only in captivity and extinct. Green is improving. All the grays show years when no status is reported for any species, or in years with a biennial report, species for which status was unknown.

Every other year, the publish an assessment - subjective though it may be - they have published a report describing the status of each species. Each of these reports are sent to Congress, as directed under the Endangered Species Act.
