What The Conservation Agency does
Mission
Ecological and systematic investigations in biological diversity for wildlife and ecosystem conservation.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Narragansett Bay Coyote Study - Since 2004 we have been working on factors effecting the apparent growth of the coyote population on Aquidneck and Conanicut Islands. Since food has been linked to coyote fecundity we are examining food resource using GPS collars. The collars allow us to identify important foods for coyotes, and we have found that coyotes are heavily subsidized by anthoprogenic resources. We are using this information and other behavioral and hapit-use data to understand the role of the coyote in our local environment and communities. We are working with towns to draft sustainable management and coexistence strategies.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $19,933.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $49k to $231k (+369%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 72% · 2022 70% · 2023 58%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
