Not Law, but Birds
Indiana has many interesting natural regions across the state that are worth exploring and preserving. Earlier this fall I noted that there is a CAFO (my issue for 2005) being installed near a site known for Sandhill Cranes: Jasper County CAFO.
Today, the Star takes note of some Indiana sites that are receiving national recognition for bird watching:
The National Audubon Society is paying attention, though, and this fall formally recognized three specific points in Porter County in its first Important Bird Areas program in Indiana.Beverly Shores, Cowles Bog in the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore and Indiana Dunes State Park are the first and so far only designated IBAs in the region, according to James Cole, Indiana Important Bird Areas coordinator.In Indiana, 13 sites have been identified out of a potential list of more than 100. Porter is the only Indiana county with more than one site.
