Advisory Bodies (ICOMOS, IUCN)

Advisory bodies like ICOMOS and IUCN are expert organizations that provide guidance on preserving cultural and natural heritage. ICOMOS (International Council on Monuments and Sites) specializes in protecting historic sites and architecture, ensuring their conservation respects their cultural significance. IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) focuses on the conservation of natural environments and biodiversity. Both groups offer scientific advice, assess risks, and recommend best practices to governments and organizations, helping to safeguard our shared heritage and natural resources for future generations.
