Discover Wetlands

Wetlands provide habitat for 50% of species with small or declining populations in Indiana.

Wetlands are like biological supermarkets, providing great volumes of food that attract many animals, and providing shelter for some of the most at-risk populations of animals and plants, including 79 Species of Greatest Conservation Need.
