and wildlife species and benefit sustainable rangeland use at the same time. Researchers suggested that one of the most effective restoration approaches would be to minimize the cumulative impact of grazing by better managing the timing frequency of grazing
and associated wildlife that had evolved with little herbivore pressure. Cheatgrass displaces native grasses and wildlife can increase fire frequency
and ultimately cause an irreversible loss of these native shrub-steppe communities. This also has grazing implications:

But in California's Salinas Valley some more vigorous interventions are cutting into the last corners of wildlife habitat and potentially threatening water quality without evidence of food safety benefits.
These policies create tensions between wildlife preservation and food safety where none need exist say scientists for The Nature Conservancy writing in the Ecological Society of America's journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment.

These buyers insist that swathes of bare ground wider than a football field is long separate the leafy greens from rivers wetlands and other wildlife habitat.
It also creates costs for wildlife. Although scant evidence exists of risk of food-borne disease spread by wildlife the risk of rejection of produce by major buyers is too much for most growers to bear say Gennet
and her co-authors. They measured changes in wetlands and riverside habitat in the Salinas Valley between 2005 and 2009 finding 13.3 percent converted to bare ground crops or otherwise diminished.
Widespread introduction of fencing blocked wildlife corridors. Low barriers even kept out the frogs. Unlike the LGMA standards individual corporate requirements for farm produce are generally not transparent to the public.

and cutting off wildlife corridors is a significant loss. The Salinas River and its tributaries are an important rest stop on the Pacific Flyway a major migration route for neotropical songbirds and home to raptors and shorebirds.

and other threatened wildlife species. Most African governments don't have the resources to protect people
and wildlife from each other but without a massive increase in conservation funding nearly half of unfenced lion populations could decline to near extinction over the next 20-40 years.
Several of Africa's most famous wildlife areas involve large-scale migrations of wildebeest and zebra that could never be enclosed within a fenced reserve so the lions'last stand should be thought out carefully in terms of those places that can safely be fenced
Because the findings from the Ecology Letters paper present such an enormous challenge for African governments and conservationists the best hope may be to advocate for a Marshall Plan for African wildlife conservation Packer said.
