It takes constant fighting to prompt saving a single species. Take a look at the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrocercus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrocercus for instance. They are endangered by husbandry and mineral mining which both have deep pockets. Most of the population isn't an issue. The Sage-grouse had a PBS special made out of it even. I think that makes a big difference to make a detailed documentary of the life cycle of endangered species. Spreading the money out evenly would doom them all I bet.
