Partners for the Indiana CWS

Only about 3 percent of Indiana’s land area is in public ownership, so the vast majority of wildlife species are located on private land. Also, some species live in very inaccessible places, so we often don’t know everything we need to know about their conservation needs. It is clear that wildlife conservation will be best accomplished in Indiana through partnerships with private landowners. To this end, the Indiana DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife  is strengthening relationships with its existing partners and reaching out to potential new partners to develop a comprehensive wildlife strategy (CWS) that emphasizes conservation of habitats and communities that sustain all wildlife species, while maintaining a specific focus on species of greatest known conservation need.
