美國的保育役權及其對我國之借鏡價值

Conservation Easement in the United States and Its Potential to be Established in Taiwan

以民間自己的力量，透過取得對特定土地之管理或監督的權限而直接地進行該土地的生態環境或永續性之維護，已成為保育努力愈來愈受重視的一環。雖然在現行法下，已有多種法律工具可運用於此項保育策略，特別是透過取得所有權或接受信託之方式而得管理土地，但在實際推動上，往往還是遇到一些困難。探尋新的法律工具，以促成民間力量在保育工作上更大的擴展，即成為重要之課題。本研究認為，美國的保育役權於私部門土地保育之推動，相較於其他我國目前可資運用之法律工具，具有對保育團體成本較低、被土地所有人接受之可能性更高等制度優勢，值得在立法上考慮。

The practices that the private sector devotes to direct land conservation by acquiring the powers of managing or monitoring land have become a strategy that drawn more and more attention. There are several legal instruments that could be used to perform this strategy under current law, such as acquiring land by purchase, gift, or in trust. However, using those instruments often encounters difficulties in practice. Therefore, seeking innovative legal instruments to prompt private land conservation becomes an important issue.
