Property rights can help save, preserve, and improve the environment by increasing their security. Doing so would lead to:
*deforestation decreases
*access to safe water
*improvements in sanitation facilities
*increases in production, exchange, economic developement
When we better secure property rights, people have desires and motives to maintain and protect the environment. It's like having a house. You pay to live there and therefore keep it clean.
If you owned a local forest, would you maintain it and encourage others to as well?
