Guaranteeing physical preservation

Description

Guaranteeing physical preservation involves implementing measures to protect and maintain the integrity of tangible assets—such as artifacts, buildings, natural sites, and biological specimens—against deterioration, damage, or loss. This strategy includes preventive conservation, controlled environments, regular maintenance, and emergency response plans. Its practical intent is to ensure long-term survival and accessibility of valuable physical resources, remedying threats from environmental factors, neglect, vandalism, or disaster, and thereby safeguarding cultural, scientific, and natural heritage for future generations.
