Heritage at Risk - 2011-2013 report online

The Heritage at Risk Reports are also addressed to the world public as an urgent appeal to commit itself to saving our heritage. This new volume consists of contributions from ICOMOS national or international committees, but also, as usual, of reports by individual experts and of quotations from different expertises, statements, articles and press releases. The analysis of the reports shows that, apart from the general risks to heritage from natural disasters and physical decay of structures, there are certain patterns in human activity endangering our heritage, e.g. risks from war and inter-ethnic conflicts, from development, tourism or – very recently – from the repercussions of the economic crisis on the cultural heritage sector in some European countries.
