0 Hi Tanit, 02 br 02 br 00 Can't speak for a specialized audience, but I would take "listed building" to mean one which is protected by the law, to preserve it as a national treasure, or some such. 02 br 02 br 00 If you're thinking the same audience should know both terms, we must be talking about anthropology rather than nature. "Historical site" is the only thing that comes to mind.

00 In BrE it's "conservation area" (see this for instance: 01 a 05 0 00 02 a 00 ). 02 br
02 br
00 I was wondering if I can use it or if there's an American equivalent ... if the answer is "no" for both,
