Wildlife Habitat
Pristine habitat not only provides clear benefits to the wildlife that calls it home, but also is an incredibly valuable resource for people. Wildlife habitat performs a variety of ecological functions, including flood retention, carbon sequestration, and stream buffering. It also helps to maintain rural character and offers abundant recreation opportunities.
Wildlife habitat can be protected through regulation, market-based forces, or voluntary action. This month’s fact sheet focuses on regulations that communities can utilize to achieve habitat protection at the regional, municipal, and site level.
