The Importance of Land Conservation

With the ever-growing population in the US, many of its natural forests and wilderness areas have been turned into housing developments, major highways, business centers and golf courses. And with such rapid infrastructural trends, the country's natural wonders and wildlife are slowly depleting. Infrastructure also affects the balance of nature and aggravates floods and unusual weather patterns.

Environmental depletion has not gone unnoticed though, because there are now some organizations who actively engage in land conservation and environmental protection. Through the help of these groups, natural sceneries have been restored in many places, and wildlife has been preserved from extinction. These interest groups have also called attention to pollution cases and other anti-environmental concerns.

Taos Land Trust Supports the Cause of Conservation

Taos, New Mexico has some of the most unique and extraordinary landscapes in the country. Irrigated farmlands have made Taos develop productively in terms of economy and demography, and fostered a healthy conservation-oriented attitude among its residents.

Taos Land Trust is a non-profit organization engaged in the concern of preserving natural and cultural environments. The organization protects people who own Taos real estate properties through conservation easements and joint projects with government environmental agencies.

Through conservation easements, Taos Land Trust also helps landowners plan their property development and yet preserve the natural beauty. You retire a portion of your Taos real estate property development rights. You will devote the land for farming, ranching or sustainable forestry. By doing so, you can qualify for certain tax privileges, like reduced inheritance taxes.

Participating in Taos Land Trust

You can participate in the Taos Land Trust conservation cause by becoming a member. Taos Land Trust accepts donations from one dollar, and will use your donations towards local land conservation operations.
