A free-market environmentalism project of the Reason Public Policy Institute and the National Environmental Policy Institute. The project is sponsored by the Competitive Enterprise Institute. The Center for Private Conservation has a new web site. Read stories about landowners' environmental stewardship initiatives from around the world. While the last several years have seen the birth of several law foundations dedicated to defending individual rights, DoPR is the first solely dedicated to property rights.
Site includes pending litigation and legislation, public education materials and much more.
Issues frequently addressed are the Endangered Species Act, intellectual property, taxation, wetlands, and zoning. An interesting nonpartisan effort to point out where government harms rather than helps the environment. Site dedicated strictly to dealing with nuisance zoning laws, not land-use or building codes. The Public Purpose includes an online collection of urban land-use policy papers. Wendell Cox is an expert on market solutions to urban growth problems.
