It would seem to align with animal nature in general as many animals mark and defend their territories, the space needed to maintain the quantity of renewable natural resources necessary to sustain them and enable successful reproduction. That humans would retain control over their man made resources would seem to be a natural extension of this. Once taken beyond meeting basic human requirements though, it becomes more of a social convention. At this time, whether property rights are a natural right; or, social convention varies with the type of property.
