The integrated management of wildlife and livestock can simultaneously improve human health and wildlife conservation.
We suggest that increasing the emphasis of NRCS conservation programs and financial assistance on maintaining or increasing compositional and structural heterogeneity of vegetation, rather than on livestock distribution, could be an approach that unifies livestock production and wildlife habitat objectives.
The benefits of diversification into community-based wildlife conservation are likely to be high only in those rural areas that can sustain wildlife populations sufficient to generate adequate returns from wildlife activities such as tourism, trophy hunting, live animal sales and meat cropping
Wildlife management strategies should consider including 1) sustainable local wildlife exploitation, 2) livelihood projects that provide a real alternative to hunting, and 3) human–wildlife conflict mitigation.

Additional strategies are needed if we are to conserve more than a small proportion of the world's natural habitats and their wildlife.
Such investment could also help efforts to conserve wildlife.
Our approach reveals not only where to invest, but which strategies to invest in, in order to effectively and efficiently conserve biodiversity.
We conclude that it is difficult to assess globally what is the most sustainable option to control competing vegetation.
