i. The protection of property which is of significant ecological or agricultural importance;

ii. The protection of property which serves to complement or buffer publicly owned and managed conservation lands;

The highlands development credits which the HDC Bank Board purchases are likely to be resold, transferred, or conveyed for redemption in a residential development project that satisfies compelling public need or that will result in the protection of other properties which satisfy (a)3i or ii above; and/or
