A massive urban wildlife study of the Chicago region will be launched by scientists at the Lincoln Park Zoo. I found this timely as just this morning my next door neighbors live trapped a woodchuck that’s been eating their flowers and scaring their cat.

About the Massive Urban Wildlife Study
After reading the article “Scientists to Launch Massive Urban Wildlife Study” on WBEZ.org Chicago Public Radio, I learned that researchers are putting cameras at more than 100 sites in the Chicago region. The idea is to track how and where animals move in urban areas, and use this data to influence city planning.

It sounds good to me and sounds great for the preservation of urban wildlife.
