چکیده
This article offers an analysis of financial incentives for landowners, conservation bank managers, and land developers under habitat regulations for land use.

This analysis applies to a variety of policies including transferable development rights, conservation, and mitigation banking to protect wetland and upland habitat and wildlife.
