(520 ILCS 25/10)
Sec. 10.
Purpose.
It is the purpose of this Act to provide a stable and supplemental source
of money to support activities and programs undertaken by the Department
or other managers of land to preserve, protect, acquire, and manage habitat
for future generations. Habitat quality is measured by such parameters as
type, native diversity, size, structure, scarcity, and location. Linkage
with neighboring habitat, whether existing or potential, is another
important consideration.
Illinois' habitat includes all wetlands, woodlands,
grasslands, and agricultural lands, natural or altered, that support or have
the potential to support populations of wild animals in any or
all phases of their life cycles.
