Support the Heroes

The team behind the Indianapolis Prize, the world’s leading award for animal conservation, has unveiled a unique guide to help preserve wild things and wild places worldwide. Champions for Our Planet: The Indianapolis Prize Guide to Animal Conservation Giving spotlights organizations supporting the conservation heroes of the Indianapolis Prize and serves as an expert roadmap for giving purposeful gifts that foster and sustain endangered species and ecosystems.
