Earth Charter Indiana, the Indiana Wildlife Federation and the National Wildlife Federation are teaming up to launch the Hoosier Habitats Challenge!

This is an opportunity to be on the leading edge of a movement to restore our native ecosystems and address the biodiversity and climate crises. We believe by working together across communities and organizations, we can certify every region in the state of Indiana - and be the first state to ever do so! 

We are looking for local leaders and changemakers who are interested in being part of this project in their area.

We kicked off this challenge at the IWF’s annual conference on Saturday, March 7.
