Annex 1 HSP Notional Allocation Formula

Since the fall of 2000 (in preparation for Year 2 of the HSP), the following mathematical calculation has been used to divide up the annual HSP funding among the five Environment Canada administrative regions. It incorporates the proportion of species at risk and proportion of ecoregions at risk per administrative region in order to send funds where they are most needed. It also uses a split allocation for aquatic and terrestrial species (with a different set of parameters applied to aquatics). The percentage split allocation for aquatic and terrestrial species (29% to 71% respectively) indicated here corresponds to the distribution of COSEWIC-designated aquatic and terrestrial species at risk, as included in the 2007-2008 HSP call letter.
