Abstract: Market instruments proposed for withdrawing biodiversity-rich tropical forests from logging and turning them into conservation area, aim at acquiring land use rights not land ownership. If conservation easements and transferable development rights require enforced and widespread land private property, conservation concessions are based on financial compensations to the Governments, loggers and local populations against their rights to develop targeted lands. Such a ?rent against development? principle should be discussed through the criteria of efficiency, equity and legitimacy.
