49: Conservation
Balance economic development and private property rights in the short run with conservation goals over the long run. Other Information:
Our Republican Party’s Commitment to Conservation -- Conservation is a conservative value. As the pioneer of conservation
over a century ago, the Republican Party believes in the moral obligation of the people to be good stewards of the God-given
natural beauty and resources of our country and bases environmental policy on several common-sense principles. For example,
we believe people are the most valuable resource, and human health and safety are the most important measurements of success.
A policy protecting these objectives, however, must balance economic development and private property rights in the short
run with conservation goals over the long run.
