Editing American redstart (section)

==Conservation==
Successful conservation efforts of the redstart, as for any other migrating bird, include protecting and providing habitat throughout its entire range. The benefits to coffee farms that redstarts and other "coffee birds" provide have encouraged coffee farmers to adapt shade trees and adjacent forest patches in their farming practices as additional habitat for the birds.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.coffeehabitat.com/2012/12/coffee-birds-american-redstart/|title=Know your coffee birds: American Redstart|work=coffeehabitat.com}}</ref> While shade tree coffee farms offer a somewhat practical compromise between habitat preservation and agriculture, there is still not enough data to back the proposition that practices like shade tree coffee farms can replace the natural habitat that was once there.<ref>{{cite web |title=Assessing Habitat Quality for a Migratory Songbird Wintering in Natural and Agricultural Habitats |url=https://wildlife.humboldt.edu/sites/default/files/johnson/pdf/Johnson_et_al_2006_ConBio.pdf |access-date=14 February 2022}}</ref> Still, the most effective method for American redstart conservation would be natural habitat preservation at wintering and breeding grounds.
