8 Supplement 3: Estimating federal spending on conservation We obtained basic and applied research and development obligations by federal agencies overall and disbursed to academia (available online at the National Science Foundation s Integrated Science and Engineering Resources Data System at webcaspar.nsf.gov). We considered spending in environmental and agricultural biology, which captures most conservation-relevant spending, but also includes unrelated spending. Within these disciplines we tracked spending for 12 federal agencies. Environmental biology is defined as: ecosystem sciences; evolutionary biology; limnology; physiological ecology; population biology; population and biotic community ecology; systematics; other environmental biology. Agricultural biology is defined as: agronomy, animal sciences, food science and technology, fish and wildlife, forestry, horticulture, plant sciences, soils and soil science, phytopathology, phytoproduction, general agriculture, other agriculture. Federal agencies included in analysis: Department of Agriculture: -Cooperative State Research Service Education and Extension Service -Forest Service; Department of Commerce: -National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Department of the Interior -Bureau of Land Management -Geological Survey -National Biological Service -National Park Service -Fish and Wildlife Service US Agency for International Development Environmental Protection Agency National Aeronautics and Space Administration National Science Foundation Smithsonian Institution

9 Supplement 4 We explored whether the proportion of spending in the environment and animals category has varied systematically through time. To do so, we recorded grants to academic and research institutions made on topics relating to the environment and wild animals by members of the Consultative Group on Biological Diversity and by the top 20 environmental grantmakers (The Foundation Center 2000). We selected the top grantmakers from 1998 because this year fell near the midpoint of the funding time interval examined in this study ( ). We then compared this to overall grants to environment and animals from the same organizations. We used only data from foundations providing information online for 3 years from 1981 through 2003 (corresponding to articles published from 1987 to 2009 after accounting for a 6-year publication delay). Specifically, we recorded data from the following foundations: Doris Duke Charitable Foundation (7 yrs) The Ford Foundation (4 yrs) William and Flora Hewlett Foundation (23 yrs) The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation (22 yrs) Charles Stewart Mott Foundation (3 yrs) Curtis & Edith Munson Foundation (5 yrs) Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation (3 yrs) Pew Charitable Trusts (3 yrs) Howard Heinz and Vira I. Heinz Endowments (3 yrs) Henry P. Kendall Foundation (4 yrs) Rockefeller Brothers Fund (5 yrs) Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund (4 yrs) The Joyce Foundation (6 yrs) The George Gund Foundation (6 yrs) We adjusted all spending data to 2008 dollars using inflation conversion factors provided by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (US Bureau of Labor Statistics 2009). Literature cited The Foundation Center (2000). Top 50 U.S. Foundations Awarding Grants for Environment, circa Foundation Center Statistical Services, online at: US Bureau of Labor Statistics (2009).
