Welcome to LandScope Indiana
The LandScope America website is a work in progress. In addition to comprehensive nationwide information, like much of what you can already find via the map viewer, we will include extensive state-by-state information, found on state home pages like this one. Because Indiana is one of many states where we are still working to develop all of the needed maps, stories and other content, currently you’ll find only summary information here. For an example of completed state content, visit the home pages of our five pilot states: Colorado, Florida, Maine, Virginia and Washington.

Indiana Conservation Summary
Indiana is known for its miles of flat corn fields, but it is home to much more, including a varied topography, from dunes to valleys to swamps, and a wide diversity of habitats and species, such as the Indiana bat and Karner blue butterfly. Indiana is also home to numerous organizations that, along with Hoosiers themselves, are committed to conserving this rich diversity of life.

Indiana Wildlife Action Plan
Deeming a habitat-based approach as the most efficient way to address the needs of the widest variety of species, Indiana's Comprehensive Wildlife Strategy provides an overview of conservation in Indiana and identifies needs and opportunities for helping to protect large blocks of habitat required by species with extensive home ranges and species dependent on large, undisturbed areas -- a key challenge in conserving Indiana's wildlife.
