Why would a personal connection to the land motivate and inspire people to contribute to its protection? ( 3 sentences minimum )

A personal connection with land would add sentimental value to it. I feel the sentimental value would create such a bond that there would be fear to let go. Having a bond so strong with the land makes it hard to want to give it to another person when there is so much history that you have with it. Being said a personal connection with land will inspire people or give the people a motive to want to protect it and keep it orderly because of sentimental value.
