ABOUT US
The Illinois Endangered Species Protection Board determines which plant and animal species are threatened or endangered in the state and advises the Illinois Department of Natural Resources on means of conserving those species.
The Illinois Endangered Species Protection Board was created by the passage of the Endangered Species Protection Act in 1972. The Board consists of nine members who are appointed by the Governor, and the Director of the IDNR (or his designee) as a non-voting member. By law, the members include at least two zoologists, two ecologists, and one botanist. The Board convenes meetings quarterly, generally alternating locations throughout the state. These meetings are open to the public.
