Natural Heritage Futures

Many countries around the world have begun to adopt zonation systems as a strategic framework to guide their approach to the conservation, enhancement, understanding and use of the natural heritage. The natural heritage zonation approach adopted by NatureScot is intended to provide a logical framework, reflecting the diversity of Scotland's natural heritage, within which NatureScot can clearly and simply plan and execute its work. The zones are not, therefore, intended as a classification of the natural heritage but, rather as an operational tool which is founded in the natural heritage.

全球众多国家已开始采纳分区系统作为指导其自然遗产保护、提升、认知与利用的战略框架。NatureScot所采用的自然资源分区方法旨在构建一个反映苏格兰自然遗产多样性的逻辑框架，在此框架下，NatureScot能够清晰且简洁地规划与执行其工作。因此，这些区域并非作为自然遗产的分类，而是一种基于自然遗产的运作工具。
