Answer: Because conservation and preservation require scientific knowledge and special skills, and a wrong treatment can destroy a valuable object for ever.

Old manuscripts, paintings, sculptures, coins and monuments are damaged by dampness, insects, light, pollution and careless handling. A trained conservator knows the right chemicals, temperature, humidity and methods to be used, and can repair an object without spoiling its original form. He also keeps a record of the work done. Untrained handling causes irreparable loss, so only qualified and trained persons are allowed to do this work.

Preservation and conservation of records and historical sites requires lots of research and brainstorming. It is not in the domain of the amateurs because they may not know the importance of different elements of the archeological evidence. Even in restoring historical buildings, qualified and experienced civil engineers are required to accomplish the task in an easy and hassle free manner. Heritage is an important element of history and it should be preserved in the best possible way.
