Working landscapes are landscapes used for farming, ranching and/or forestry.[1] Recently, these have become the focus of efforts to conserve biodiversity,[2] as these now cover more than 80% of Earth's land,[3] and therefore offer increasing opportunities for conservation and restoration. Though some parts of these landscapes may be used so intensively that they may be unable to sustain native species, working landscapes generally also include significant areas of habitats suitable for native species within their diverse and multifunctional mosaics of intensively used, fallow, and regenerating areas.
