[This book] definitely can provide ideas to scientists and conservationists in tropical and subtropical areas, where intensive agriculture practices are rapidly destroying natural areas, who wish to convince farmers of the long-term advantages of sustainable farming and biodiversity-friendly practices. * Gabor Pozsgai, Conservation Biology * The publication offers on a plate four decades of blood, sweat, and tears from a wide range of scientists.

[...] Taken together, this volume fills an important gap, since it links vital aspects for policy, conservation, and management with a nuanced overview building on local to regional examples. In times of ever shorter publications, this book is a valuable contribution. It provides diverse and layered information, just as the topic of wildlife conservation in farmland that it focuses on. * Henrik von Wehrden, The Quarterly Review of Biology *
