The World Spent $14.4 Billion on Conservation, and It Actually Worked

Between 1992-2003, that investment led to a 29 percent decrease in the rate of biodiversity decline.

“Between 1992–2003, $14.4 billion was spent in total in the 109 countries studied...That investment resulted in a 29 percent-per-country average decrease in the rate of biodiversity decline...”

This is one of the first large-scale studies to show that investment in conservation really does work. The study also examined how conservation dollars could be spent most effectively in different locations to slow biodiversity loss.

Study Finds Mass Extinction Could Free Up Billions Of Dollars In Conservation Funding By 2024

WASHINGTON—Saying the extra income would be a major boon both for individual citizens and the country at large, a study released Monday by the Congressional Budget Office confirmed that a mass extinction of the world’s flora and fauna could free up billions of dollars in conservation funding over the next decade. “According to our projections, if the ongoing global extinction of the world’s 8.7 million species continues at current rates, the U.S. stands to pocket some serious cash, likely enough to cover most infrastructure projects we’ve been putting off,” CBO deputy director Robert Sunshine said, adding that the elimination of entire ecosystems, such as rainforests, would usher in the elimination of Medicare and Social Security funding shortfalls as well. “Even if we just lost panthers, we’d be almost $1 billion ahead. Take them and almost every other living creature out of the picture, and we could build a nationwide high-speed rail line and have some left over for a number of really amazing, top-of-the-line weapons systems.” Sunshine went on to confirm that the government has blueprints for fixing the nation’s education system “ready to go” the second humpback whales disappear.

Lawmakers slash Missouri River ecosystem plans in name of flood control

From the St. Louis Beacon:

WASHINGTON - In the wake of this summer's severe flooding, members of Congress from Missouri have been mounting what appears to be a systematic effort to slash studies and efforts that aim to restore the ecosystems along the now-swollen Missouri River -- even though many analysts feel that such restoration can help lessen future flooding.

Last week, U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer, R-St. Elizabeth -- arguing that "it is preposterous to think that environmental projects are more important than the protection of human life" -- convinced the U.S. House to approve his amendment to cut funding for the Missouri River Ecosystem Restoration Plan, or MR-ERP.
