EPA Region 5 Critical Ecosystems
- Ecologically Rich Areas - Critical Ecosystem Team June 1999 Draft
The Critical Ecosystem Team met with over 175 people from over 30
agencies and organizations and interviewed more than 50 partners
by phone in order to begin to identify, gather information about,
and map the Ecologically Rich Areas of Region 5. This report is a
first attempt to characterize partner information from an EPA
perspective for EPA staff. The areas identified are not the only
areas of ecological richness in Region 5. Numerous other high
quality, but smaller, areas exist. From a regional perspective,
however, our partners have identified the Ecologically Rich Areas
as warranting special attention.
