Thank you.
Thank you to all the witnesses for being here today. I know that we're quite excited about this study, and your testimony today was very useful.
The first thing I want to start with is that all three groups here today discussed the concept of a working landscape.
Mr. Bates, you spoke to that very eloquently. Perhaps you could go into a little more detail—succinctly—on what that means and why that's of relevance to the development of a national conservation plan.
