What is the primary goal of the Working Lands for Wildlife program?

The primary goal of the Working Lands for Wildlife program is to target a specific species in peril with conservation practices. This program is designed to support landowners in implementing conservation strategies that enhance habitat for species that have been identified as needing protection due to declining populations or habitat loss. By focusing on these specific species, the program aims not only to promote their recovery but also to integrate conservation efforts with working agricultural landscapes. This dual approach fosters sustainable land use while ensuring that vital ecological functions are maintained for endangered species. As a result, landowners are engaged in conservation efforts that yield benefits for both wildlife and agricultural productivity.
