geoglyph preservation

Geoglyph preservation involves protecting large-scale land markings, or geoglyphs, that are created by arranging natural materials or removing earth to form patterns visible from above. These ancient artworks, such as the Nazca Lines in Peru, are vulnerable to natural erosion, human activity, and development. Preservation efforts focus on monitoring environmental impacts, regulating land use, and raising awareness to maintain these cultural treasures for future generations. Proper management ensures that the archaeological, cultural, and historical significance of geoglyphs is preserved while respecting their surrounding environments.
