【 摘 要 】

Conservation, whether it be of landscape or nature, is necessarily rooted in human culture, because the perception of what is landscape, and what is nature, and why a given landscape or area of nature is important, is a human judgment. This article focuses on the cultural idea of heritage, and its role in determining why certain landscapes, conceptualized as being « natural », are conserved. It argues that « used », as opposed to « virgin », landscapes have a particular appeal because they have been preserved from generation to generation as a form of common inheritance that individuals do not own, but « merely look after it for the next generation ». To illustrate the point it takes its point of departure in a highly successful watch advertisement that uses this phrase as its slogan.
