Creating positive incentives for landowners and discoverers is important. This shows up repeatedly as an issue with both archaeological and endangered species discoveries in many countries, including the US, where landowners are strongly disincentivized to report any discoveries since it can have a strong negative impact on the value of their land and their ability to use it. As often as not this leads to the destruction of the thing people are trying to preserve e.g. "shoot, shovel, shut up". [0] It is understandably difficult to get people to act against their own interest. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoot,_shovel,_and_shut_up |
