Fountain also helped facilitate discussions that ultimately resulted in the establishment of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fws.gov\/refuge\/everglades-headwaters-and-conservation-area\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Everglades Headwaters National Wildlife Refuge<\/a> and led preservation and restoration efforts at the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Preserving land through easements<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far, Fountain has worked on 4,300 transactions related to such deals, totaling over $800 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That may be a lot of money, but the land\u2019s actual value can be substantially greater, he said, given how they can be the key to ensuring Florida\u2019s most important watersheds and other open lands remain as contiguous and intact as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s important to protect critical watersheds in areas like those that make up the <a href=\"https:\/\/floridawildlifecorridor.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Florida Wildlife Corridor<\/a> \u2013 for wildlife conservation as well as protecting the water resources Floridians rely on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMany of those lands contain very important environmental attributes,\u201d Fountain said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A small piece of the puzzle<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While conservation lands managed by federal, state, and local authorities cover nearly 11 million acres in Florida, easements are a lot less common. Of Florida\u2019s 34.7 million acres, just 915,000 of them are protected via conservation easements, which are set up through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fdacs.gov\/Consumer-Resources\/Protect-Our-Environment\/Rural-and-Family-Lands-Protection-Program#:~:text=The%20Rural%20and%20Family%20Lands,Protect%20valuable%20agricultural%20lands.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rural and Family Lands Protection Program<\/a> and other methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Much of this land is concentrated in Central Florida, where cattle ranchlands still cover the landscape, and the Panhandle, an area where timber is a historically important industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fountain gave a detailed overview of the types of easements available, how their terms can be enforced through courts, some of their limitations, and their place within the context of broader land conservation programs such as Florida Forever and Amendment 1, a land-buying measure on Florida\u2019s ballot in 2014 approved by 75 percent of Florida voters. Funds like those offered through the two latter programs have been subject to the will of lawmakers potentially at odds with their cost to taxpayers or the limits they may place on certain industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Florida-Wildlife-Corridor-Map-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31010\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Florida-Wildlife-Corridor-Map-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Florida-Wildlife-Corridor-Map-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Florida-Wildlife-Corridor-Map-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Florida-Wildlife-Corridor-Map-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Florida-Wildlife-Corridor-Map-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Florida-Wildlife-Corridor-Map-1320x880.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>A map of the Florida Wildlife Corridor<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conservation easements, on the other hand, aren\u2019t as directly affected by politics. Instead, they\u2019re an agreement between a property owner and the organization that is procuring the easement, which is typically an environmental nonprofit or a government agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While every conservation easement is different, they all aim to protect land by barring future development on a property while, in many cases, letting the landowners continue to use the land for their business as long as it does little or no harm to the ecology there. Plus, they can offer generous tax incentives for preserving the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of income tax benefit here available to people,\u201d Fountain said. \u201cSometimes these are large pieces of property.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those properties may be the key to protecting Florida\u2019s natural resources for future generations, Fountain said. That is, if residential development, mining and other demands of an ever-growing population don\u2019t get there first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t know how long we\u2019re going to be able to do this stuff at scale in Florida,\u201d said Fountain. \u201cWe\u2019re running out of time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learn more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stetson.edu\/law\/international\/biodiversity\/\">Institute for Biodiversity Law and Policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With urban sprawl covering so much of Florida\u2019s landscape, it can be easy to forget that farming and ranching were once the state\u2019s biggest industries.
