The World Monuments Fund (WMF) is an international, independent,
non-profit
organization based in New York that works to safeguard the heritage of mankind
by encouraging conservations and preservation of culturally and historically
significant works of art and architecture worldwide. In 1995, WMF launched the
biennial World Monuments Watch List of the 100 Most Endangered Sites in which
Petra, Jordan was first included in 1996.
Through the Watch and other programs, WMF works to effect lasting change at endangered
sites and foster local and international engagement in their preservation. WMF
has worked in over 80 countries and at a wide variety of sites, including Petra,
as well as the Taj Mahal in India, the Valley of the Kings in Egypt and the Forbidden
City in China. Join us as we learn about WMF’s experience working with
local communities to preserve cultural heritage sites and discuss the economic,
environmental, and social effects of these partnerships, including training in
new trades and skills, tourism management and development, and grass roots preservation
efforts around the world.
