<jats:title>Cost-effective conservation on private land</jats:title>

How affordable is biodiversity conservation in a fragmented landscape? Banks-Leite
<jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic>
asked this question for the biodiversity hotspot of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. An annual investment of <10% of Brazil's agricultural subsidies could support effective ecological restoration on private lands. This would increase biodiversity in set-aside land to the same level observed in protected areas. The cost-effectiveness of this scheme suggests a path forward for conservation strategies in other similarly mixed landscapes, too.
