Abstract
Woodland wildlife conservation can be approached in two ways. First, through the protection of the individual species and ecosystems that are characteristic of natural and semi-natural woodlands. Secondly, through the identification of practices and features within forest production systems that benefit wildlife generally — not necessarily just the wildlife of the natural forest. Wildlife conservation is distinct from, though related to, other aspects of conservation. Plantations of introduced tree species may maintain the water and nutrient balance of an area (good resource conservation) and make an attractive landscape (good landscape conservation) but reduce populations of the native flora and fauna (poor wildlife conservation).
