Sensitive Land Protection
敏感土地保护
It’s critical to consider the actual project site, in addition to its surroundings. Land is a limited resource, so deliberate planning is needed to mitigate the potential negative impacts of development. There are specific considerations that projects need to take, depending on whether the land has been previously developed (that is, whether it has been paved or had a building on it before).
除周边环境外，对项目场地本身进行评估也至关重要。土地属于有限资源，需通过审慎规划降低开发带来的潜在负面影响。项目需根据场地是否为
既有开发用地（即此前是否已硬化铺装或建有建筑），采取差异化的考量措施。
Green Building Strategies
绿色建筑策略
Green building strategies aim to protect land. This is ideally done by selecting a location on land that has previously been developed.
绿色建筑策略以土地保护为目标，最优方式是选址于
既有开发用地。
However, even when selecting an undeveloped location, there are still important steps for a green building project to take. Specifically, project teams need to identify and protect environmentally sensitive areas within the project site, which are places that need to be protected due to their vulnerability or importance. Protecting these areas can have social, environmental, and economic benefits.
即便选址于未开发地块，绿色建筑项目仍需采取关键保护措施。具体而言，项目团队需识别并保护场地内的
环境敏感区，这类区域因生态脆弱性或重要性需重点保护。保护敏感区域可带来社会、环境与经济多重效益。
Examples of environmentally sensitive areas include forests, farmlands, floodplains, bodies of water, and certain types of ecosystems, which are biological communities of interacting organisms and their physical environment, such as wetlands and areas of notable habitat.
环境敏感区示例包括森林、农田、洪泛区、水体及特定生态系统。生态系统指生物群落与周边物理环境相互作用形成的整体，例如湿地与重要栖息地。
It is important to protect ecosystems because of the critical functions they serve, such as contributing to the provision of clean air and water. The term ecosystem services refers to the direct and indirect benefits that ecosystems provide humans.
保护生态系统意义重大，因其具备净化空气、涵养清洁水源等关键功能。
生态系统服务指生态系统为人类提供的直接与间接效益。
We will discuss the relationship between green buildings and their sites in more detail in Chapter 6: Sustainable Sites.
绿色建筑与场地之间的关系，将在第 6 章：可持续场地中详细展开论述。
