preservation

 
     
  The saving of relict features in the human landscape, typically in the built environment. It complements conservation, which is generally concerned with protecting environmental features. Preservation involves maintaining the feature in a state of good repair: restoration aims to bring it back to its original condition, whereas revival reproduces past features. (RJJ)
