Threatened species need farmland
http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/16000484


Species such as the white-shoulder ibis need arable landscapes to survive, say researchers

Several threatened species in the developing world are completely dependent on human agriculture for their survival, say scientists.

A study by researchers at the University of East Anglia (UEA), found at least 30 bird species that would be driven to extinction without farmland.

The research is published in the journal Conservation Letters.

This study focused on birds, but the team say the same probably applies to many other animals.
