    Caves of Illinois

    LimitedCaves are fragile environments and are protected under the Federal Cave Protection Act of 1988. This document identifies locations of caves in Illinois. Over the years, a number of caves have had irreversible damage from vandals. Visitors also exacerbate the problem of white nose syndrome, which is severely reducing Illinois bat populations. This report should not be made easily available in digital format to individuals who may access caves without knowledge of or respect for the extremely fragile nature of the cave environment
