With support from more than 30 conservation organizations, Mayor Richard M. Daley's Nature and Wildlife Committee and the Department of Planning and Development implemented the Chicago Nature and Wildlife Plan in 2006. The Chicago Nature and Wildlife Plan and its associated Chicago Nature Areas Directory identifies more than 4,800 acres of prairies, savannas, dunes, woodlands, wetlands and potential restoration areas at 98 sites throughout Chicago. The first plan of its kind in Chicago's history, the Nature and Wildlife plan establishes a framework to protect and expand individual ecosystems and the landscapes to which they belong for the benefit of wildlife and people. It also suggests techniques that residents and businesses can implement to make the urban environment friendlier to native plants and animals in northeastern Illinois.
