What does CP12 provide for wildlife?

The Conservation Practice CP12, known as "Wildlife Openings," specifically aims to create openings in forests and other habitats that enhance foraging opportunities for various wildlife species. By establishing wildlife openings, CP12 focuses on increasing food availability, which is crucial for supporting animal populations. These openings can be planted with preferred food sources for wildlife, allowing animals to forage more effectively, which is essential for their survival, especially during times when natural food supply may be limited.

While habitat corridors, dense forest cover, and field borders can also play important roles in wildlife conservation, they do not directly address the enhancement of foraging opportunities in the same targeted manner as wildlife openings do. Each of those alternatives may contribute to overall habitat quality, but they do not specifically describe the primary goal of CP12, which is about creating accessible areas rich in food resources.
