Nature Conservation and the Voluntary Principle

Author

Listed:
  • John M. Francis

Abstract

Primary legislation in Britain has enshrined the ‘voluntary principle’ at the centre of the working relationship between nature conservationists and other land-users. This paper examines the dilemma that arises from the application of the legislation to long-term land management strategies in support of nature conservation. In its historical context this approach does not sit easily with wider goals such as the land-use ethic of Aldo Leopold or the search for an ethic of sustainability.
