preservationism

Preservationism is a philosophy that emphasizes protecting natural environments, cultural sites, and historical artifacts from damage or alteration. It advocates for maintaining these treasures in their original state, often through strict conservation measures. The goal is to ensure that future generations can experience and learn from these valuable resources, respecting their aesthetic, historical, and ecological significance. Preservationism often supports legal protections and careful management to prevent harmful development or degradation, balancing human use with the importance of maintaining authenticity and integrity of cultural and natural heritage.
