Lecture 18 - Property Rights and Public Lands Management

Lecture 18 - Property Rights and Public Lands Management

This video was recorded at YALE - EVST 255 - Environmental Politics and Law. The lecture centers on public lands management and the effect of property rights on sustainable resource management. Property rights create a complex set of relationships that complicate effective environmental management. Popular conceptions of wilderness also make it difficult to manage public lands sustainably, since people view wilderness as a place of freedom, without regulation. Managing property rights and people's concept of right to wilderness are the central issues facing natural resource managers and public lands managers. As a result, it is important to consider external forces, such as climate change, that influence one's ability to exercise property rights. Resources Lecture 18 [PDF]
