Land conservation efforts around the world are underpinned by national and sub-national frameworks of conservation laws and policies. These include property law, land use regulations, tax law and financial incentives, and enabling legislation for conservation and protected area creation among others, and are unique to a country or juridiction's legal system. We connect conservation practitioners who are using, developing and adapting legal tools and policy levers to create the critical enabling conditions that allow individuals and organizations to undertake effective and enduring land conservation efforts in their jurisdictions.
