This is one of those mottos that in Mexicans are accustomed to placing above their signatures. It precedes the name of the president of a nonprofit group working to conserve World Heritage cultural sites in one Mexican state.
My attempt: "To cherish is to abide" but I'm not satisfied with "abide" (the idea is that the historic buildings will not be destroyed if we cherish them).
Any ideas? Thanks!!

Comment: "Thank you, Edward, for that inspired translation. I wanted to split the points with Eileen because she gave me the idea of "What is cherished endures". So thanks to both of you, and to Rosa Elena and Andrea, too."
