Note
A count plural for a noun that also works as a mass noun. Preservation names both the act of keeping something from decay and the state of having survived it. The plural appears when separate instances are counted: distinct acts or methods of preserving, or the different conditions in which things have come down to us. For the activity in general, the singular mass noun is the natural choice.
