Conservation easements are a flexible and symbiotic tool that has been used to protect millions of acres across the United States and other regions, but Europe has been slow to adopt the mechanism. Join the ILCN and LIFE ENPLC as their teams explore how easements could catalyze private land conservation in the European Union (EU). Experts will present the results of extensive research on existing easements in the EU; assess the success and lessons drawn from those implemented by LIFE ENPLC; and discuss the challenges to popularizing the mechanism across Europe.
