Recent Floods Impact Wildlife
Originally broadcast April 24, 2008

Recent flooding left enormous amounts of rural land in Southern Illinois and Southeast Missouri under water. While roads, telephone and electric service has been restored to towns, villages, and homes, wildlife habitats and agricultural land remain inaccessible.

The flooding was most extensive in smaller watersheds which were overwhelmed by the sheer amount of rainfall.

Bob Gillespie, natural history biologist for the Department of Conservation’s Southeast Region, talks to SEPR's Jacob McCleland about the ecological and agricultural impact of all that water.
