The Heroes
 Everyone around the globe who contributes their skill, time, effort, and passion to the cause of animal conservation is a real hero. Hero is a word that is often used in today's fast-paced, media-heavy society, perhaps not always in the most appropriate circumstances. But the people who are honored by their involvement with the Indianapolis Prize fit the bill of true heroes - heroes who are not always fully appreciated for the work they contribute and the hope they bring to the cause of saving the Earth's wild places and wild things. Everyone who is nominated brings great honor to the Prize, and we are proud to tell a part of their stories of heroism and hope.
