From 5-7 November 2018, the ELCN will organise a Workshop on Incentives for Private Land Conservation in Madrid, Spain.
The workshop will tackle the question: Why do landowners conserve their land? The motivations of landowners to conserve their property can be manifold, ranging from emotional place attachment to personal history, general environmental ethics and values, the feeling of social responsibility, and financial considerations (environmental regulation can be seen as part of the latter, as infringements may lead to financial penalties and cancelling of subsidies).
