      abstract = {A large amount of New Zealand’s critical remaining habitat  for endemic species is located on private land. In its  biodiversity strategy, the government proposes several  types of economic incentives to encourage voluntary  conservation by private landowners. This research  investigates the factors affecting the likely response by  landowners to those incentives, with a particular focus on  the overall potential efficacy of the biodiversity strategy  in preventing additional biodiversity loss. A case study  approach is used to examine the application of the  principal policy tools proposed in the strategy, and  regional variations in policy implementation are  considered.
The analysis suggests that the government’s  initiatives are not likely to achieve the desired result of  ‘no net loss’ of biodiversity. Additional incentive  measures are needed, particularly where larger areas of  vegetation are concerned. The current voluntary approach  favours individual landowners who already have a preference  to conserve. Those who do not are excluded by the current  policy approach, leaving large areas of native vegetation  vulnerable to destruction or neglect.},
