The Nature Refuge respondents represented a more heteroge-
neous mix of landholders, who may be broadly differentiated
according to whether they were production or non-production
landholders. Similar to the Cassowary Coast respondents, non-
production Nature Refuge respondents were concerned about the
effect of applying a perpetual conservation agreement on their
property rights and the economic value of their property. Some of
these respondents, however, had specifically purchased their land
to protect the natural values, so the perpetual agreement provided
an instrument to ensure long-term protection. For those non-
production landholders who did not specifically purchase the
property for conservation, money was an important incentive.
Production Nature Refuge respondents had an interest in conser-
vation on their property; however, the money provided through
the program provided them with the funds necessary to prioritise
their conservation activities. These respondents believed that the
application of a perpetual covenant on their property did not
necessarily represent a threat to their production activities or
property rights because their land management practices provided
both production and conservation benefits. Production Nature
Refuge respondents were accountable for the money provided to
them for on-ground works, so did not indicate that the program
provided easy money
