Habitat Conservation Basics
Protecting fish and wildlife requires conserving enough habitat for animals to move around, feed, and reproduce. The pattern of habitat on the landscape relative to roads, houses, and farms is almost as important as the overall amount of natural vegetation. Defenders of Wildlife offers several helpful resources to guide decision-making.
Habitat and Farmland
A growing interest in the application of new farming techniques can minimize adverse impacts of agriculture on land and wildlife, and help restore some farmed lands to more natural conditions.Read more about Habitat and Farmland >
Habitat and Forestland
Bursting with life, forests present immensely complex challenges for biodiversity conservation. Learn more about the concepts scientists are using to frame how we think about conservation of forest biodiversity.Read more about Habitat and Forestland >
Habitat and Sprawl
Sprawl -- rapidly growing, low density, automobile-dependent communities that consume land beyond the edges of existing cities -- can displace all but the most adaptable species of fish and wildlife. Read about threats to wildlife habitat caused by sprawl, learn about helpful strategies and existing programs already at work.Read more about Habitat and Sprawl >
