The Executive Director has reviewed the five species conservation programs that are discussed in this report and has consulted with many interested parties about the appropriateness of providing funding for them. The Executive Director believes that expenditures from the Fund are warranted to support them. Accordingly, the Executive Director recommends the General Assembly adopt a joint resolution approving expenditures from the Species Conservation Trust Fund as described in this report and the accompanying Species Eligibility List. The following table summarizes the Executive Director's recommendations. The table also summarizes estimated contributions from other sources as an indication of the extent to which expenditures from the Fund will leverage other expenditures. Finally, it summarizes the projected long-term costs for each of the species protection efforts for which HB 98- 1006 funding is sought, as well as the Colorado's anticipated share of those costs.
