River Otters 

Bald eagles, river otters, osprey, and peregrine falcons are four species who have benefited from the Indiana Nongame Fund. Restoration projects, paid for by this fund, have successfully increased the numbers of these species in Indiana. But, the work is far from over.

Over 750 endangered and nongame species -- from frogs to barn owls and freshwater mollusks -- reside in Indiana. The Wildlife Diversity Section (WDS) manages these species to stop and prevent the decline of Indiana wildlife. WDS receives no tax money for the work that it does. All projects are funded entirely from donations to the Indiana Nongame Fund - donations made by Hoosiers that care about Indiana wildlife.

Your Indiana Wildlife Diversity Section is interested in gathering public input on the nongame and endangered species program. We would like to obtain your feedback on important issues. Please include your contact information, with an email address if possible, with your donation. We will also periodically update you on how your donation to the Nongame Fund has helped Indiana's wildlife.

Because WDS depends on donations to the Nongame Fund, we can only conserve Indiana’s wildlife with YOUR help. All donors make a difference to our program.
