According to a 2002 report by the USDA, the following constitute approximate percentages of land use in the US as of whole (which includes Alaska, a state with a size that can change a lot of said numbers).
Growing crops: 15%
Idle cropland or pasture: 36%
National defense, urban, and transportation: 4.5%
Ungrazed forest land: 23%
Wildlife and recreation: 10.5%
Other: 10% (desert, tundra, swamp, bare rock)
NOTE: total is 99% due to rounding.
I would consider the last three designations as "natural habitat for wildlife," so about 43%.
