Declining Habitat, Declining Wildlife
Why does wildlife need a CURE? Because over the past 50 years, wildlife managers and biologists have observed a decline in early succession habitat. The loss of this habitat type is reflected in declining wildlife populations. Researchers have recorded data for the decline of birds in particular, but rabbits and other species are thought to be declining as well.
