• Global goals and targets were recently set for biodiversity conservation in the coming decade. As action plans are now being developed, it is timely and important to carefully consider where and when various strategies for conservation—such as restoration and preservation—will be most effective. For example, there is widespread support for expanding protected areas (e.g. protecting 30% of lands and waters by 2030) and restoration (e.g. having restoration completed or underway on at least 30% of degraded lands and waters), but also concerns regarding missed opportunities, and even additional degradation of nature, resulting from the ineffective implementation of these strategies. Here, we emphasize the importance of prioritizing the preservation of relatively intact and pristine areas when identifying protected areas, and of avoiding the common misconception that, if intact nature is degraded or lost, it can simply be restored. Even the best restorations, after many decades of investments and efforts, are only a shadow of the natural systems they are meant to recreate. Synthesis and applications. Now that the Global Biodiversity Framework has just been set, there is a critical need to recognize their fundamental differences between the types of places that are priorities for preservation, restoration or both to make collective actions for achieving the targets and goals for nature and people. 要旨 今後の生物多様性保全のための地球規模の目標とゴールが策定されたことを受け，必要な行動計画が現在策定されている.本稿では，生態系と生物多様性の保全戦略の中で，「保存」と「復元」という異なる概念について慎重に議論する. 保護地域の拡大(たとえば，2030年までに土地と水域の30%を保護下に)や生態系復元(たとえば，劣化した土地と水域の少なくとも30%を自然再生下に)に対する支持が拡大する一方で，これらの保全戦略が効果的に実施されないことによる機会損失やむしろ自然劣化が生じる懸念も存在する. 保全戦略においては，比較的手つかずの原生環境地域の保存と保護を優先すべきと考える.自然環境が劣化したり失われたりした後の自然再生や修復は非常に困難で，途方もない費用や労力を要する.実際に，相当の労力と投資を行ったきた生態系復元でさえ，本来の自然の姿への回帰はできていない.そのため，「保全」と「復元」の違いに留意を要する. 結論.「地球規模生物多様性枠組」が策定された今こそ，「保存」と「復元」の根本的な違いを認存する必要がある.これは，自然と人々のための世界的な行動指針を明確にし，保全戦略をより効果的にするために必須である. Now that the Global Biodiversity Framework has just been set, there is a critical need to recognize their fundamental differences between the types of places that are priorities for preservation, restoration or both to make collective actions for achieving the targets and goals for nature and people.
