“…When residents are concerned about loss of rural character associated with future development, politicians can gamble with new regulations favoring conservation development (Carter, 2009;Ryan, 2002). Once external development pressures reach high levels, however, new regulations must be proposed in a high stakes environment where politicians face potentially unacceptable risk (Peterson & Liu, 2008). Our case study findings suggest successful communities reacted to impending development before development pressures overwhelmed local infrastructure and political capital.…”

“…Although developers and residents concerned about property rights often resist conservation planning efforts (Peterson & Liu, 2008), community workshops and charrettes were able to address these concerns in three of our case study communities. Highlighting the economic and environmental benefits of conservation subdivisions and dispelling myths about higher construction costs helped address concerns in Randolph County while bitter conflict erupted in the Town of Davidson over the issue of "takings" and the perceived loss of property value associated with smaller lots in conservation subdivisions.…”

“…Attitudes towards wildlife ownership may relate to sociocultural history of environmental entitlements (Leach et al 1999;Wilson and Mitchell 2003) and private property ownership (Hann 2007;Peterson and Liu 2008). Because most respondents in this transboundary region were of Mexican descent, their attitudes toward wildlife being public property or not being property may relate to the ejido system in Mexico (Valdez et al 2006).…”

“…The need to share resources in urban areas may translate into negative attitudes toward private wildlife ownership among exurbanites living in rural areas. Exurban migrants to rural communities have proven more tolerant to incursions on property rights than migrants from rural areas (Peterson and Liu 2008).…”

Public attitudes toward wildlife ownership represent an important and poorly studied component of biodiversity conservation. We began addressing this knowledge gap by interviewing residents along 140 km of the United States side of the farthest southeastern border with Mexico (n ¼ 402). After controlling for demographic variables, urban background (b ¼ 0.13) and land ownership (b ¼ À0.19) predicted attitudes regarding wildlife ownership (p < .05). Most exurban respondents considered wildlife public property (72%), and rural respondents were divided (48% considered wildlife public property). Non-Latino whites demonstrated a stronger positive correlation between land ownership and considering wildlife private property (r p ¼ 0.81) than Latinos (r p ¼ 0.23). These results suggest exurban immigrants will strengthen support for public ownership of wildlife in borderland contexts. The positive relationship between agricultural land ownership and thinking wildlife should be private property may weaken in borderland areas if Latinos regain agricultural land ownership.

“…Liberty and property are the most common objects to which conceptions of inviolable rights apply (Peterson and Liu 2008). These two attributes, broadly defined, have attracted attention from both sides of the debates.…”

The right to doubt: climate-change scepticism and asserted rights to private property

Many recent planning decisions, such as planned retreat of coastal settlements from the sea, are premised upon the scientific consensus that climate change is real. Not all local residents accept forced relocation, and some hold a radical form of rights-based belief that is hostile to government intervention into private arenas. This 'deontological libertarian' belief is related to a sceptical view of climate science. Data from an Australian survey are employed to demonstrate that climate scepticism is associated with the tendency to see private-property rights as a fundamental entitlement irredeemable in the prospect of forced retreat, regardless of compensation. The sceptical view has defensible normative elements constructed upon the framework of inviolable rights also underpinning recognised environmental and development imperatives. Appealing to absolute rights generally may be an effective way to approach the sceptical public. Rights offer a generalisable framework in which sceptics which they can see how their nonsceptical counterparts are similarly situated despite expressing a different policy preference. Although consensus is not guaranteed, communication can proceed more easily by making a common ontological terrain explicit.
