Conservation defense is an ongoing, evolving response to changes and challenges. Although land trusts overall have had relatively few legal challenges, conservation easements and conservation lands are increasingly under attack across America. Just because a land trust has never had to face a legal challenge in the past, does not mean that the future will be the same. Every land trust has some conservation easements that are older or vulnerable, and even solid easements are subject to attack, violations, frivolous lawsuits and changes in tax and other laws. Trespass on fee-owned land is increasing dramatically too. Eventually, every land trust, no matter how well managed, will face a challenge to an easement or to land it owns. 

The CDI provides a coordinated, national strategy to ensure continued defense of conservation lands. The Conservation Defense Associate Director (Associate Director) has oversight and management of two elements of the CDI and supervision of the Conservation Defense Specialist.
