Heritage at Risk

Heritage at Risk refers to historic sites, buildings, or cultural landmarks that are endangered due to factors like neglect, environmental damage, urban development, or natural disasters. These sites are valuable because they preserve a community's history, identity, and cultural significance. When they face threats, efforts are needed to protect, restore, and maintain them to ensure future generations can learn from and enjoy these cultural treasures. Recognizing heritage at risk helps prioritize resources and actions to safeguard our shared history.
