An increasing number of Australians want to be assured that the
food and fiber being produced there have been grown and harvested
in an ecologically sustainable way. Ecologically sustainable
farming conserves the array of species that are integral to key
ecological processes such as pollination, seed dispersal, natural
pest control and the decomposition of waste.

Wildlife Conservation in Farm Landscapes communicates new
scientific information about best practice ways to integrate
conservation and agriculture in the temperate eucalypt woodland
belt of eastern Australia. Richly illustrated, with chapters on
birds, mammals, reptiles, invertebrates and plants, this book
illustrates how management interventions can promote nature
conservation and what practices have the greatest benefit for
biodiversity. Together the new insights in this book inform
whole-of-farm planning.
