Abstract (2. Language): 
In this paper, I discuss the concept of conservation easement and common law easement depending on property rights and economic trade off and their usages as conservation tool. Initially, I discuss property rights concept and the definition and derivation of conservation easement from common law easement, covenant, and equitable servitude. In the second chapter I give a comparison between conservation easement and common law easement and covenants. Then, I compare conservation easement to regulatory conservation policy tools from the point of both grantor and grantee view. In the end, I conclude that conservation easement can find a common ground for both private landlords and government.
