Editing Conservation easement (section)

==Issues to consider==
* As is the case with any property interest, a conservation easement may be taken by eminent domain (and thereby extinguished) when the public value of the proposed project exceeds that of the conservation interest being protected by the easement.
* Conservation easements may result in a significant reduction in the sale price of the land because a builder can no longer develop it. In fact, this difference in value is the basis for the granting of the original tax incentives. An estimate of 35%–65% value reduction has been made on conservation easement land to the land owner.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Olmsted|first1=James|title=Conservation Easements: New Perspectives in an Evolving World|journal=Law and Contemporary Problems|date=Fall 2011|volume=74|issue=4}}</ref>
* Clear boundaries of adjacent properties are not always consistent with each other. Currently, the NCED manages this issue by snapping boundary polygons to a standard parcel layer which may differ from the original data provided by a landowner.
* Against the background of the beneficial effects for nature provided by conservation easements, research suggests to also consider in-fee driven conservation efforts (i.e. direct purchase of land through conservation actors). The cost-effectiveness of either governance approach depends on various aspects such as economic and local ecological conditions, which hence need to be closely considered for the decision.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Schöttker |first1=Oliver |last2=Santos |first2=Maria João |title=Easement or public land?
