Summary Restoring native habitats in heavily cleared and fragmented areas such as agricultural landscapes is important to maintain and increase remaining native floral and faunal communities. Identifying priority vegetation types for restoration – as well as the parcels of land where this restoration could take place at a landscape scale – may assist in strategically protecting these biodiversity assets. To prioritise the restoration of terrestrial habitats around an ecologically and culturally significant Ramsar‐listed wetland in South Australia, we used the spatial prioritisation tool Marxan. Originally designed for prioritising the protection of reserve areas, Marxan can also be used to identify parcels of land for restoration purposes. We tested how Marxan prioritised the restoration of four distinct vegetation types around the Coorong and Lower Lakes region of South Australia using the inverse of habitat remnancy as a cost and soil type and distance to ecologically significant bird species as a conservation feature. By prioritising restoration activities around certain landscape features, such as remnant areas, our results indicate that we would be able to strategically restore parcels of native habitat that would maximise biodiversity outcomes. This study highlights the need for robust input data, such as priority vegetation types and bird species associated with these habitats, to ensure informative modelling outputs. It also suggests that other measures, such as the cost of different land types, should be included in future restoration planning. Finally, we illustrate how prioritisation tools such as Marxan can be used by natural resource managers to restore areas within fragmented agricultural landscapes.

“…Three motivation factors -economic/financial, conservation and lifestyle, and social -were found to motivate grazier management in Northern Australia. Jellinek et al (2013) found large-scale revegetation on agricultural properties was more likely to occur where off-farm income is available and/or where the landholder has a preference to achieve environmental rather than production goals.…”

“…Por ello, la Comisión Europea ha propiciado nuevos estudios que favorezcan la delimitación de estas zonas, especialmente de las denominadas Zonas 107 Asins 2009;Hernández y Moltó 2010;Lasanta et al 2010; Hernández y Morales 2012. Un estudio reciente refleja la mejor disposición de los agricultores a colaborar en las medidas agroambientales cuando perciben que con la aplicación de esas medidas se pueden alcanzar los objetivos que más les preocupan, como podría ser la lucha contra incendios forestales en las cercanías de áreas agrícolas de montaña (Jellinek et al 2013).…”
