Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
Five endangered
sites worth saving
The Global
Heritage Fund There is a fund that tries to protect significant and endangered
cultural heritage sites, especially the ones in developing world. On World
Heritage Day, April 18th this year, the fund issued an annual list
of five most endangered cultural sites to mark the day and draw attention to
its activity.
Aren’t those
cultural heritage sites supposed to be preserved? Not always. Actually, once the
value of those sites are recognized and known to outside of the sites, they
draw attentions that could work positively and negatively. Modernization,
tourism and looting are among the most threatening causes to endanger historical
and cultural sites, especially in developing countries where people are
striving to live daily.
Enjoy reading and
learning about the historically and culturally significant sites that were once
created by ancient people but now are endangered by their descendants.
