Changes in Illinois farmland use threaten wildlife
Dr. Paul W. Parmalee of the Illinois State Museum warns that removing bergerows clearing brush and draining timberlands and salvaging bottomlands endangers local wildlife. He says future animal populations hinge on land use with wild areas shrinking harming some birds and mammals while other species may prosper in cleared rural zones, predicting badger and woodchuck increases by 1980 as they favor grasslands and crop fields.
