Prairie chickens fade as Illinois habitat vanishes
In Illinois the prairie chicken declines from thousands to dozens as plow and machines destroy vast grasslands. Conservation efforts, shelter refuges near Newton, and private funding have not reversed the trend, with habitat loss cited as the key barrier to repopulation.
