Environmental Conservation Right
The Environmental Conservation Right also known as Conservation Property Right or Conservation Right is a new institution of private law established in Chile by Law 20.930 enacted on June 10, 2016 [2]
In its article 2, this law establishes: ´The conservation property right is a property interest that consists in the faculty to conserve the environment of a specified land or certain attributes or functions of such environment´. See also the original spanish version of this legal definition in derecho real de conservación which is the original spanish language name of this new institution [1].
The conservation property right can be applied in rural or urban areas, either to ecosystems or habitats in strict sense or to different environmental, social or cultural elements.[2][3]. Moreover, the conservation property right can be established with respect to ´attributes´ and ´functions´ of the corresponding environment, which means that this new property right can be directly established with respect to specific ecosystem services.
The ´conservation property right´ is defined by reference to a normative power: the ´faculty to conserve´ that constitutes its central normative element.[3] It is this new ´faculty to conserve´ that distinguishes this new property right from the conservation easements or servitudes that are defined and characterized as ´restrictions´ -and that in the civil law system are typified as encumbrances or gravamen- [4] [5].

- ↑ This results from the broadness of the concept of environment adopted by the legislation of Chile -Article 2 of the Environmental Framework Law, Law No19.300
- ↑ In this respect it should be noticed that in the civil law tradition a ´faculty´ defines the normative power granted to a property right´s holder
