Indiana University Football just brought home the national title. For sports fans, this is one of the most unexpected championships in recent memory. But let's not forget the real MVP: the sun bear at the Atlanta Zoo, who picked IU to win the Peach Bowl.

While we're celebrating Indiana pride, it's worth facing a harsh truth: Indiana-based RV companies are connected through their supply chains to practices that harm sun bears in their native habitat in Indonesia. These companies, like Elkart, Indiana-based Thor, Patrick Industries, and Forest River, along with Winnebago, are buying massive amounts of wood from the rainforest there. This is leading to massive deforestation in one of the world's biodiversity hotspots. As this forest disappears, sun bears lose the land they need to survive.

So let's do both things at once:

Celebrate IU's championship season. Honor the sun bear who believed in IU and push these Indiana companies to clean up supply chains and protect rainforests, wildlife, and especially the IU-loving sun bears.

Hoosier pride should mean winning on the field and doing right by the planet. Sign the petition to get RV companies to stop harming Sun Bear habitat.
