The world’s heritage places, from iconic archaeological sites and historic buildings to vibrant urban neighborhoods and cultural landscapes, excite and enthrall us all. Yet, these awe-inspiring symbols of human ingenuity and identity require intentional protection and preservation. The impacts of climate change, the ravages of conflict, the pressures of new development, and the inertia of neglect all require thoughtful, science-based strategies to safeguard our world's most treasured places.

Celebrate 60 years of World Monuments Fund and their significant work with Vice President of Programs, Jonathan S. Bell, who will explore the evolution of a global heritage preservation movement from the 1960s to today, tracing the increasing focus on local engagement and community benefit. With insights drawn from iconic sites around the globe, participants uncover how technical preservation efforts engage with local stewards to effect positive change, address global challenges, and protect our shared heritage for the future.
