About this Quote

This quote by Arne Jacobsen talks to the paradox of conservation. While preservation efforts are intended to safeguard and protect the environment, the extremely act of preservation can typically have a negative impact on the environment.

For example, a conservation effort might involve the building and construction of a new structure or the intro of brand-new regulations, both of which can have a negative influence on the environment. This quote acts as a reminder that preservation efforts ought to be carefully considered and implemented in order to guarantee that the environment is not hurt at the same time.
